Götze J., Möckel R. (eds.) Quartz: Deposits, Mineralogy and Analytics

Springer, 2012. — 360 p.Источник - http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-642-22161-3The 15 chapters of the book should be divided into at least three parts. The first chapter provides a general overview about the classification, mineralogy and industrial potential of SiO2-minerals and rocks. The next five chapters deal with aspects of exploration and qualification of potential deposits of quartz raw materials in terms of certain technical applications. Examples are given for potential deposits of SiO2 raw materials in Argentina, Brazil, Germany and Norway. The third part of the book is focused on modern analytical methods, which are being used for a thorough investigation of quartz and SiO2 materials in geosciences and in the industry. Each chapter presents fundamentals of chemical and structural characterization methods such as microprobe analysis, LA-ICP-MS trace-element analysis, fluid inclusion studies, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and cathodoluminescence microscopy and spectroscopy. All these methods are recently used for the microcharacterization of quartz and SiO2 material in science and industry.Classification, mineralogy and industrial potential of SiO2 minerals and rocks
