health and industrial applications, to their analysis and
characterization by modern instrumental techniques. Also included are
the clay-microbe interaction, layered double hydroxides, zeolites,
cement hydrates, and genesis of clay minerals as well as the history and
teaching of clay science. The 2e adds new information from the
intervening 6 years and adds some important subjects to make this the
most comprehensive and wide-ranging coverage of clay science in one
source in the English language. Provides up-to-date, comprehensive information in a single source + Covers applications of clays, as well as the instrumental analytical techniques + Provides a truly multidisciplinary approach to clay science
