Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book is an atlas of coal combustion minerals from around the world. The minerals include those that condense from coal gass and those associated with combustion metamorphism due to burning coal, although minerals associated with the burning of coal in industrial processed are also included.The atlas is fully illustrated in color and include photos taken in the field, in the lab and SEM photos illustrating the intricate details of the minerals as well as mineral reactions. X-ray diffractograms, mineral and gas analyses, a detailed description of each phase identified, and some thermody |
