Synopsis
Unlock the practical chemistry of rocks with clear, reliable methods you can use in the lab.
This guide presents selected, tested procedures for chemical analysis of silicate rocks, with a focus on igneous origin. It is designed for chemists, petrologists, mining engineers, and students who want practical, step‑by‑step methods rather than a full treatise.
The book emphasizes simple, reliable techniques that can be learned by capable beginners and used by experienced analysts. It includes careful guidance on preparation, manipulation, and the key decisions that affect accuracy, so you can obtain meaningful rock analyses with comparatively short practice.
- How to plan and weight rock samples for analysis to maximize accuracy
- Methods for decomposing rocks and isolating major and minor constituents
- Techniques for precipitating, filtering, drying, and titrating results
- Practical notes on apparatus, reagents, and common sources of error
Ideal for readers of geology, petrology, and laboratory science who want hands‑on methods that yield reliable rock composition data.
