Summary The Handbook of Clay Science provides a critical and up-to-date account of clay science, ranging from the fundamental structure and surface chemistry of clays and clay minerals to their environmental and industrial applications. The topics covered range from the fundamental structures and properties of clays and clay minerals, through their environmental, health and industrial applications, to their analysis and characterization by modern instrumental techniques. Such a comprehensive treatment of the subject does not exist in any other modern text on clay science. In providing a critical and up-to-date assessment of the accumulated information, the Handbook of Clay Science will serve as the first point of entry into the literature for both newcomers and graduate students, while for research scientists, university teachers, industrial chemists, and environmental engineers the book will become a standard reference text
