The first edition of the "Handbook of Clay Science "published in 2006 assembled the scattered literature on the varied and diverse aspects that make up the discipline of clay science. The topics covered range from the fundamental structures (including textures) and properties of clays and clay minerals, through their environmental, health and industrial applications, to their analysis and characterization by modern instrumental techniques. Also included are the clay-microbe interaction, layered double hydroxides, zeolites, cement hydrates, and genesis of clay minerals as well as the history and teaching of clay science. The 2e adds new information from the intervening 6 years and adds some important subjects to make this the most comprehensive and wide-ranging coverage of clay science in one source in the English language.
Provides up-to-date, comprehensive information in a single sourceCovers applications of clays, as well as the instrumental analytical techniquesProvides a truly multidisciplinary approach to clay science

Es wurden die selektiven Adsorptionseigenschaften der Tonminerale Montmorillonit und Kaolinit in If eqn. 8] is divided by a qu., we obtain Alkohol-Benzol-Gemischen untersucht. Die Adsorp tionsiiberschuBisothermen wurden bestimmt; die = (h and Adsorptionskapazitaten wurden nach der Methode 14] von Schay und Nagy berechnet. Es wurde festgestellt, daB die Desaggregation der Tonminerale und ihrer and organophilen Derivate quantitativ durch die Adsorp tionskapazitat charakterisiert werden kann. 15] Es konnte gezeigt werden, wie der Verlauf der OberschuBisothermen durch die Oberflachenmodifi kation beeinfluBt wird; in diesem Zusammenhang where () I and () 2 are the proportions of the wurde eine neue Isothermengleichung vorgestellt. polar and apolar surface area.
