SCIENCE FOR THE CURIOUS. NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC LAYERED MINERALS. APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRY

Discover the fascinating world of layered minerals with the tenth booklet in the "Science for the Curious" series. This publication takes you on a journey through the diverse world of mineral chemistry and structure, showcasing their enormous potential in chemical modifications and industrial applications. Learn how the proper selection of chemical compounds and precise modification management allow you to tailor the properties of minerals to the specific needs of industry.

• Chemical and structural diversity of layered minerals.
• Enormous potential in chemical modification.
• Tailoring properties to industrial applications.
• Interdisciplinary nature of mineral use.
• Examples of applications in industry.
• Use of clay minerals in scientific research.
• Application of kaolinite minerals and the smectite group in many industries.

AGH Publications presents a publication that highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the use of layered minerals. Clay minerals, natural geological formations, are used not only in research centers related to Earth sciences, but also in research conducted by chemists, physicists and biologists. An example is kaolinite minerals and the smectite group, which, due to their physicochemical properties, availability, low price and indifference to the natural environment, have found application in many industries.

Interest in the use of natural and synthetic layered minerals is constantly growing, and their applications are developing rapidly. In addition to their use as sorbents in purification processes and catalysts for reactions, these minerals are used in materials created for medical purposes, polymer nanocomposites or intelligent materials. This booklet is an excellent source of knowledge for anyone who wants to explore the secrets of layered minerals and their applications in modern technologies.

AGH Publications is a renowned publisher of scientific and educational publications that has been supporting the development of science and technology in Poland for years.
