The properties of mineralogical and covalent inorganic polymers are brieffy described in the introductory part. Glass is an important polymer made up of rings and chains of silicate units which contain negatively charged oxygen atoms neutralized by positive metal ions. Glass and few other mineralogical types of inorganic polymers, like aluminum oxyde, could be fabricated into fibers and used as...

The complex interplay between depositional facies and diagenesis in dolostones presents numerous challenges for calculating petrophysical properties from wireline logs. Complex pore geometries and mineralogies control rock petrophysical properties, and equations for calculating porosities and saturations must therefore be tailored to specific pore geometry-mineralogy combinations. The complex m...

-The chemical and the mineralogical composition of a group of pumiceous tufts associated with recent salic volcanic episodes from Tenerife (Canary Islands) have been studied. The investigation focused on the two main types of pyroclastic deposits of the zone: ash-flows and ash-falls. The samples can be classified chemically as trachytic and phonolitic rocks with an intermediate silica content a...

During this study, we investigated the mineralogical characterization of technogenic magnetic particles (TMPs) contained in alkaline industrial dust and fly ash emitted by coal burning power plants and cement plants. The reaction of tested dust samples varied between values of pH 8 and pH 12. Their magnetic properties were characterized by measurement of magnetic susceptibility (χ), frequency d...

the relationship between some measure of soil P and runoff dissolved P (Gburek et al., 2000; Coale et al., The relationship between soil test P (STP) and dissolved reactive 2002; Vadas et al., 2002). However, recent research has P (DRP) in runoff has been shown to vary with soil type due to differences in soil properties. This study was conducted to determine shown that this relationship will v...

Thermomagnetic analysis of magnetic susceptibility k(T) was carried out for a number of natural powder materials from soils, baked clay and anthropogenic dust samples using fast (11C/min) and slow (6.5C/min) heating rates available in the furnace of Kappabridge KLY2 (Agico). Based on the additional data for mineralogy, grain size and magnetic properties of the studied samples, behavior of k(T) ...

That some of the potassium added in the form of fertilizers or otherwise becomes fixed in the soil had been known for a long time. With the clarification of the phenomena of base exchange in soils by Gedroiz it was revealed that the K-ion is fixed in the exchange complex not only in replaceable but also in non-replaceable form. A review of the work in this connection may be found in the paper b...
