Manual of Determinative Mineralogy: With an Introduction on Blow-Pipe Analysis (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of Determinative Mineralogy: With an Introduction on Blow-Pipe Analysis The present work is a complete revision of the "Manual of Determinative Mineralogy and Blowpipe Analysis" by Prof. Geo. J. Brush, which has been very generally used since its first appearance in 1847, as shown by the fact that fourteen editions of it have appeared. In 1896 a revision of introductory chapters devoted to blowpipe analysis and the chemical reactions of the elements was published, and there are now added a chapter on the physical properties of minerals, devoted chiefly to crystallography, and a new set of analytical tables for the identification of minerals. In preparing the introductory chapters, great pains has been taken in the selection of the tests for the elements. Many of the experiments are performed by means of the blowpipe, but chemical tests in the wet way are recommended when it is believed that they are more decisive. All the tests have been carefully verified, and many of them have been devised especially for the present work. To make the book more convenient for reference, conspicuous headlines and catch-words have been freely used. The tests for the rare elements, and those for the common ones which are only occasionally employed, are printed in small type. It is hoped that the plan adopted of giving full directions concerning the methods of manipulation and the quantities of materials to be taken in making many of the tests will be found useful. It must be borne in mind constantly that accuracy is of the utmost importance in determinative mineralogy, and it is believed that no methods are so generally to be relied upon for giving decisive results as those based upon the identification of the chemical constituents of the minerals.

Manual of Determinative Mineralogy: With an Introduction on Blow-Pipe Analysis
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough examination of minerals, their chemical composition, and how to determine the presence of chemical constituents in minerals. It gives a solid foundation in fundamental chemistry principles like valence, atomic weight, and molecular weight, as well as chemical equations. The book contains an extensive tabular section for the identification of minerals by chemical reactions, using both dry and wet methods, and through the examination of a mineral's physical properties. The tabular section is based on nearly eight hundred species, and includes common minerals printed conspicuously. This book is a valuable resource for students, geologists, and mineralogists alike, providing a comprehensive guide to the identification and classification of minerals. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331963370_0
