Phosphates: geochemical, geobiological, and materials importance
Material type:
TextLanguage: English Series: Reviews in mineralogy and geochemistry ; Vol. 48Publication details: New York: Mineralogical Society of America 2002. Description: xv,742p. PbkISBN: 9780939950607Subject(s): PHOSPHATES | GEOCHEMISTRY | GEOBIOLOGYDDC classification: 55 Summary: Volume 48 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry represents the work of many authors whose research illustrates how the unique chemical and physical behavior of phosphate minerals permits a wide range of applications that encompasses phosphate mineralogy, petrology, biomineralization, geochronology, and materials science. While diverse, these fields are all linked structurally, crystal-chemically and geochemically. As geoscientists turn their attention to the intersection of the biological, geological, and material science realms, there is no group of compounds more germane than the phosphates.
