Product Description
Iron Oxides play an important role in numerous disciplines. Since the publication of the first edition, there has been a surge of interest in synthetic fine to ultrafine iron oxides in a wide range of scientific and technological disciplines, especially in mineralogy, geosciences and environmental science and in various branches of technology. As before, the main aim of the second edition is to present reliable, well-tested, up-to-date methods of synthesizing pure iron oxides. The section on monodispersed particles, presently of great interest to industry, has been expanded. Furthermore the methods of characterization have been focused on their relevance to iron oxides. The well tried syntheses have been retained and some new ones have been incorporated. |

Excellent Perspective on How the Various Kinds on the Many Iron Oxides Fit Into the World by Mark A. Weiss (Germantown, MD United States)  4 Stars
February 08, 2007
This is a technical book. Although it claims to emphasize recipes (of simple type) to make in the lab, the book has lots of other information. There are also some very important tables. Best probably is how the book gives you a perspective on the iron oxides of our planet -- literally and also about the stabilities and conversions between iron oxides. Why not 5 stars? While it is true that magnetic properties (coercivity, specific [per gram] remanence) depend on a huge number of factors, not just the kind of iron oxide, not even ranges are tabulated for the various iron oxides. Also, principles of Mössbauer spectral interpretation are not explained. Also, kinds of magnetism aren't explained. I know some of these things from elsewhere, but it seems they should be included in a book on iron oxides. Finally, the 2nd edition has something I miss from the first. I just happen to like seeing analog gray-scale photographs of powder diffraction films of the x-ray crystallography. Those were in there for the various iron oxides in the first edition. For the second edition we have plots -- just not as cool as the x-ray powder film pictures. But this book is an excellent perspective builder for how the various iron oxides fit into the world -- literally -- as well as classifying their colors and kinds of magnetism. (Though magnetic classification is given, you'll have to learn elsewhere about what the kinds of magnetism really mean and what brings them about mechanistically.)
