GLY 444 - Surfaces of Geomaterials

Institution:

University at Buffalo

Subject:

Description:

Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 305 or equivalent Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Describes the theory of surface and interfacial thermodynamic properties, how these properties are experimentally determined, the basis for computations of surface and interfacial free energies, and how the surface properties of minerals can be related to their chemical composition and crystal structures. Gives particular emphasis to those minerals that naturally occur in a colloidal form (the clay minerals), as well as to other geological materials, such as volcanic ash, that can occur in colloidal sizes.
