Instrumental Surface Analysis of Geologic Materials

Instrumental Surface Analysis of Geologic Materials

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is the first book to summarize the different instrumental approaches used to study surface reactions and interactions of geologic materials. Techniques useful for obtaining both qualitative and quantitative analytical data and techniques that yield chemical bonding and topographical data have also been included.
This handy compilation of surface analytical methods is of great current relevance since hazardous waste transport, acid rain, and other environmental impact problems are studied by these techniques. They are also important for studies of mineral extraction and ore deposit formation.
Special Feature: Focuses on the reactions occurring at surfaces and interfaces of geologic materials.

From the Back Cover
Instrumental Surface Analysis of Geologic Materials Dale L. Perry Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of California A comprehensive overview of surface chemistry-related analysis of geologic materials, this unique book describes techniques useful for studying chemical reactions on the surfaces of rocks, soils and minerals. Chapters are devoted to Mössbauer, Auger electron, NMR, electron spin resonance and luminescence spectroscopies, scanning electron microscopy, and more. These techniques can be used in a strictly analytical approach, or in order to perform basic research in areas such as mineral chemical alterations, sorption, ore body formation and acid mine drainage. It will be of use to analytical chemists, geochemists, environmental scientists and geologists, and will serve as an invaluable guide for experimentalists working in these areas.
