These complaints contain the peer-reviewed contributions submitted to the eleventh overseas Congress for utilized Mineralogy (ICAM) held July 5-10, 2013, on the Southwest college of technological know-how and expertise (SWUST) in Mianyang, China. The biennial ICAM is an important collecting of utilized mineralogists, equipped some other 12 months by way of the ICAM-Council. The multidisciplinary learn awarded during this e-book can be of curiosity to scientists and execs facing issues like environmental and clinical mineralogy; business minerals; bio-minerals and biomaterials; complicated fabrics; technique mineralogy; mining and metallurgy; cultural background; the interplay of minerals with microorganisms; and good waste therapy and recycling, together with genetic mineralogy.
“The box of utilized mineralogy has been in a position to fit society’s velocity through constantly reinventing itself, quick adopting new applied sciences and instrumentation as they grew to become to be had and placing them to paintings for the provider of mankind dwelling in a global that seriously will depend on minerals. during the last few many years, utilized mineralogy has developed right into a slicing- side self-discipline that leads the best way for technological know-how, engineering and learn and improvement to profit society. opposite to renowned trust, mineral assets are restricted, and we've got a duty to our heirs to take advantage of them responsibly.”
