Probably more than any other element, iron markedly influences the
chemical and physical properties of soils and sediments in the
earth. Considering its transition metal status, with potential
variation in electronic configuration, ionic radius, and magnetic
moment, combined with its abundance and relatively large mass,
little wonder that one sees its unique influence on every hand. Pre
sentations at the NATO Advanced Study Institute (NATO AS ) on Iron
in Soils and Clay Minerals reviewed and discussed the occurrence,
behavior, and properties of Fe-bearing minerals found in soils and
in the clay mineral groups kaolinite, smectite, and mica. Also
discussed at the NATO AS were the basic chemical properties of Fe,
methods for separating and identifying Fe in minerals, and the role
of Fe minerals in weathering and other soil-forming processes. The
present publication is the reviewed and edited proceedings of that
Advanced Study Institute. The sequence of chapters follows the
general pattern beginning with introductory chapters which overview
the general occurrence of Fe in the earth and its chemistry, both
generally and in mineral environments, followed by identification
and characterization methods for Fe and Fe phases in minerals. The
properties and behavior of Fe oxides, Fe-bearing clay minerals, and
other Fe minerals in soils are then described, and the text ends
with a summary of the role of Fe in soil-forming processes. A Table
of Contents and subject index are provided to assist the reader in
finding specific topics within the text."
