Differential Thermal Analysis of Clay Minerals Under Controlled Thermodynamic Conditions (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Differential Thermal Analysis of Clay Minerals Under Controlled Thermodynamic Conditions (en Inglés)"
""Differential Thermal Analysis of Clay Minerals under Controlled Thermodynamic Conditions"" by Robert LeGrande Stone is a comprehensive guide to the use of differential thermal analysis (DTA) for the study of clay minerals. The book covers the theory and practice of DTA, including the principles of thermodynamics and the use of controlled thermal conditions to investigate the thermal behavior of clay minerals.The book begins with an introduction to the properties and structure of clay minerals, followed by a discussion of the principles of DTA and thermodynamics. The author then goes on to describe the instrumentation and techniques used in DTA, including sample preparation, heating and cooling rates, and data analysis.The bulk of the book is devoted to the study of specific clay minerals, including kaolinite, smectite, illite, and chlorite. Each mineral is discussed in detail, with a focus on its thermal behavior and the factors that influence its behavior under different thermodynamic conditions.Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of careful experimental design and data analysis in order to obtain accurate and meaningful results. The book includes numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the principles and techniques described, making it an invaluable resource for researchers and students in the field of clay mineralogy and related disciplines.Ohio State University Engineering Experiment Station, No. 146, November, 1951.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
