Properties of Fluorite Structure Materials

The present work focuses on two fluorite-structured groups of materials: the hydrides of the rare earths (and actinides) and several specific metal oxides, and is authored by researchers among the most competent and active in the field. By contrast to the classical historic alkaline-earth halides, non-stoichiometry appears as a key issue for both groups treated …

Pre-Mesozoic Geology in the Alps

The Alps are an arched mountain chain stretching 1500 km between Vienna and Graz in Austria and Genova in Italy. They resulted from the collision of the African and Laurasian plates during Mesozoic and Tertiary times. The high standard of knowledge attained over the last 30 years by the working groups on "Alpine Metamorphism" is …

M. Goldschmidt Conference in Davos, Switzerland (June 19-21, 2009). Contents: Thermodynamic Databases for Water-Rock Interaction Thermodynamics of …

Effect of Added Bentonite Clay on Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization

This book deals with the effect of bentonite clay on carbon and nitrogen mineralization from different organic substances under varying moisture regimes in Mollisols of Tarai region of Uttarakhand, India. Accurate modeling of soil C and N mineralization rates and their response to changing environment require a thorough understanding of the factors that control these …

Allano's Gemstone Guide

Allano explains how much can be done to identify gemstones using simple equipment such as a loupe, polariscope, dichroscope, magnet and Chelsea filter. Much more equipment is needed to solve the problem of distinguishing between synthetic and natural gemstones, including emerald, ruby, alexandrite and quartz, which is well covered with up-to-date information on what is …

ThirdWorlds- Property Rights and Governance in Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining

Springer Geology - Theory and Practice of Hydrocarbon Generation within Space-Limited Source Rocks

This book analyzes hydrocarbon generation and accumulation within space-limited source rocks. The authors draw conclusions based on the principles of basin formation, hydrocarbon generation and accumulation, coupled with the practice of terrigenous basins in eastern China. Hydrocarbon generation and expulsion have been quantitatively assessed in space-limited source rock systems. This book explores new hydrocarbon generation …

Special Publication of the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits 4 - Geology and Metallogeny of Copper Deposits

Copper belongs to those metals whose concentrations in nature arise from a broad diversity of endogeneous and exogeneous pro- cesses, which applies to essentially all genetic classes of ore deposits. This is the first proceedings volume on copper metallogeny to cover the worldwide distribution of the four main groups of cop- per deposits, including in …

Comportement environnemental de granulats artificiels

Dans les acieries, la conversion de la fonte en acier est une operation qui genere des quantites tres importantes de residus: les laitiers d'acierie de conversion (LAC), qui sont en partie valorises en tant que granulats en genie civil. Cette these vise a quantifier et a expliquer le comportement a la lixiviation des LAC, c'est-a-dire …
