A Handbook and Formulary by Peter A. Ciullo
Industrial Minerals and Their Uses is a unique cross-industry resource for formulators and compounders, and an invaluable reference for the producers of formulated commodities and industrial minerals. Monographs on each of the common functional industrial minerals include an overview of natural and commercial varieties, market size, and application areas. These are supported by descriptions of mineral structures, and the wedding of minerals and chemicals through mineral surface modification.
Industrial Minerals and Their Uses covers both the chemical and mineral raw materials used by the formulator, how these are combined, and relevant test methods. Each chapter clarifies for technologists the function and value of the mineral constituents of their products and provides a primer on the technology of industries other than their own.
Industrial Minerals and Their Uses concludes with a formulary demonstrating how specific mineral and chemical ingredients are actually compounded in major application areas, and technical data on scores of commercial mineral products.
