The application of thermal analysis is outlined by 18
contributions, writtenby experts in the various fields of
geosciences. Emphasis was laid on the determination of
minerals and technical products, kinetic parameters and
calorific values in glass and ceramics technology,
characterization of raw materials (e.g. clays, industrial
minerals), in quality control and performance assessment,
but also in environment protection from soil and water
pollution, using re-evaluated existing and new data and
improved combined modern methods.
This book is addressed to practitioners, scientistsand
students in mineralogy/crystallography, applied geology,
material sciences, and environmental sciences.
