Synopsis
This book describes electron micrographs, X-ray diffraction patterns, surface area studies, and infrared and Mossbauer spectra for each iron oxide preparation, with colour plates illustrating how the colour of iron oxides varies with crystal structure, particle size, and metal substitution. Offering reliable, tested and up-to-date methods for synthesizing the major iron oxides, it provides a detailed description of techniques for iron oxide characterization. The laboratory techniques and materials are accessible to the average scientist and the various sections deal with potential sources of error in synthesis. The information applies to chemistry, soil science, medicine, corrosion science, and environmental chemistry.

Quatrième de couverture
U. Schwertmann, R. M. Cornell Iron Oxides in the Laboratory Preparation and Characterization Second, Completely Revised and Extended Edition The distillation of the vast literature into a readable, usable manual is sure to be welcomed by scientists in many fields. In my own field of biomineralization, this book will be very useful to students involved with biogenic iron oxides. I only wish it had been published when I started these studies. S. Man, Analyst No soil science library should be without this book. H. Graf von Reichenbach The instructions are clear and unambiguous and should ensure that even the most inexperienced can produce the desired material. F. Patterson, Clay Minerals This is a book that fits snugly into the pocket of a lab coat and indeed that is where it should be kept since it contains just the sort of information that is invaluable whilst working at the bench. S. Man, Analyst
Présentation de l'éditeur
Iron Oxides play an important role in numerous disciplines. Since the publication of the first edition, there has been a surge of interest in synthetic fine to ultrafine iron oxides in a wide range of scientific and technological disciplines, especially in mineralogy, geosciences and environmental science and in various branches of technology. As before, the main aim of the second edition is to present reliable, well–tested, up–to–date methods of synthesizing pure iron oxides. The section on monodispersed particles, presently of great interest to industry, has been expanded. Furthermore the methods of characterization have been focused on their relevance to iron oxides. The well tried syntheses have been retained and some new ones have been incorporated.
