Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mineralogy of the Chicago Area The Board of Managers of the Natural History Survey take pleasure in presenting the fifth of its proposed publications. It is the third report of those relating to the geological features of the area and is devoted to the mineralogy of Chicago and vicinity. The area covered by the survey is made to include the first great moraine which sweeps around the head of Lake Michigan, as well as several weak morainic lines lying nearer the lake. It also includes the ancient beaches of Northeastern Illinois and a portion of the outlet of the body of water which formed them. It is a country exceptionally full of varied and interesting features. This territory is about forty-eight or fifty miles square, which after deducting the approximate area of the lake-covered portions, leaves nearly eighteen hundred square miles of land surface. It comprises all of Cook and Du Page Counties, the nine north townships of Will County and a portion of Lake County, Indiana. While it is not a locality notable for its mineral resources, yet quite a variety of beautiful and economic forms are obtained which are of sufficient scientific value to warrant the publication of a report devoted to them. Some of the species are emigrants and only found in the drift, yet students of mineralogy will doubtless note with interest the large number recorded and also that nearly all the mineral classes are represented. This report has been prepared by Dr. Alja Robinson Crook, Professor of Mineralogy, Northwestern University, and represents several years of careful study and field work.

Book excerpt: This book on Applied Clay Mineralogy is comprehensive. It covers the structure, composition, and physical and chemical properties of kaolinite, halloysite, ball clays; bentonites including sodium montmorillonite, calcium montmorillonite, and hectorite; and palygorskite and sepiolite. There is also a short chapter on common clays which are used for making structural clay products and lightweight aggregate. The location and geology of the major clay deposits that are marketed worldwide and regionally include kaolins from the United States, Southwest England, Brazil, and the Czech Republic along with halloysite from New Zealand and ball clays from the US, England, Germany, and Ukraine. Bentonites from the U.S. and Europe are included along with palygorskite and sepiolite from the U.S., China, Senegal, and Spain. The mining and processing of the various clays are described. Extensive discussions of the many applications of the clays are included. The appendices cover the important laboratory tests that are used to identify and evaluate the various types of clay. Many figures are included covering electron micrographs, processing flow sheets, stratigraphy, and location maps. * Provides the structure and composition of clay minerals, as well as their phyisical and chemical properties * Discusses pplications for Kaolin, Bentonite, Palygorskite and Sepiolite * Contains appendixes of laboratory tests and procedures, as well as a test for common clays
Download or read book Thermodynamics of Minerals and Melts written by R.C. Newton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today large numbers of geoscientists apply thermodynamic theory to solu tions of a variety of problems in earth and planetary sciences. For most problems in chemistry, the application of thermodynamics is direct and rewarding. Geoscientists, however, deal with complex inorganic and organic substances. The complexities in the nature of mineralogical substances arise due to their involved crystal structure and multicomponental character. As a result, thermochemical solutions of many geological-planetological problems should be attempted only with a clear understanding of the crystal-chemical and thermochemical character of each mineral. The subject of physical geochemistry deals with the elucidation and application of physico-chemical principles to geosciences. Thermodynamics of mineral phases and crystalline solutions form an integral part of it. Developments in mineralogic thermody namics in recent years have been very encouraging, but do not easily reach many geoscientists interested mainly in applications. This series is to provide geoscientists and planetary scientists with current information on the develop ments in thermodynamics of mineral systems, and also provide the active researcher in this rapidly developing field with a forum through which he can popularize the important conclusions of his work. In the first several volumes, we plan to publish original contributions (with an abundant supply of back ground material for the uninitiated reader) and thoughtful reviews from a number of researchers on mineralogic thermodynamics, on the application of thermochemistry to planetary phase equilibria (including meteorites), and on kinetics of geochemical reactions.
