OverviewThe study of clay minerals is complex and yet central to disciplines such as geology, geotechnical engineering and agriculture. The main problems concern the identification and characterization of what are usually fine-grained, complex mixtures of grains with varying physical and chemical properties. This book looks at the most widespread determinative methods: the physical methods. This book should be of interest to academic and industrial mineralogists, chemists and geochemists in earth sciences, soil science, geotechnical engineering, mineral exploration, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and the oil industry; and advanced students in the above disciplines.
