Book description
In the course of using environmental materials, man has often
modified them, thereby creating a multitude of new products, but also a
variety of pernicious by-products. Many branches of the basic and applied
sciences, including such diverse disciplines as physics, chemistry,
mineralogy, geology, agronomy and engineering, have been concerned with the
characterization of environmental materials and their modifications in the
course of their utilization. In studies relating to these maters, use is
often made of physical techniques such as X-ray diffraction and various
spectroscopic techniques. One of the most powerful of these is Mossbauer
spectroscopy. Mossbauer Spectroscopy of Environmental Materials and their
Industrial Utilization provides a description of the properties of materials
formed on the earth's surface, their synthetic analogs where applicable, and
the products of their modifications in the course of natural processes, such
as weathering, or in industrial processing as reflected in their Mossbauer
spectra. Particular emphasis is placed on the way in which these processes
can be observed and elucidated through the use of Mossbauer spectroscopy.
The first chapter covers the basic theory of the Mossbauer effect and
Chapters 2 and 3 deal with the nuts and bolts of experimental Mossbauer
spectroscopy. The principles of these first three chapters, illustrated with
many case studies, are applied to different areas of interest in Chapters 4
through 12. The book is directed to a broad audience ranging from graduate
students in environmental sciences or chemical engineering with little or no
expertise in Mossbauer spectroscopy to researchers from other disciplines
who are familiar with this technique but wish to learn more about possible
applications to environmental materials and issues.
