Calcium-Based Materials : Processing, Characterization, and Applications

Calcium-based natural minerals are important for a wide range of applications. Though these materials are available in nature, researchers are working toward developing them in the laboratory.

Calcium-Based Materials: Processing, Characterization, and Applications introduces the possibility of designing these materials for particular applications.

• Introduces a variety of calcium-based materials and discusses synthesis, growth, and stability
• Provides in-depth coverage of calcium carbonate
• Discusses applications of calcium-based minerals in different fields
• Includes details on synchrotron X-ray tools for case minerals
