Editorial Review:
This book describes electron micrographs, X-ray diffraction patterns, surface area studies, and infrared and Mossbauer spectra for each iron oxide preparation, with colour plates illustrating how the colour of iron oxides varies with crystal structure, particle size, and metal substitution. Offering reliable, tested and up-to-date methods for synthesizing the major iron oxides, it provides a detailed description of techniques for iron oxide characterization. The laboratory techniques and materials are accessible to the average scientist and the various sections deal with potential sources of error in synthesis. The information applies to chemistry, soil science, medicine, corrosion science, and environmental chemistry.

Excellent Perspective on How the Various Kinds on the Many Iron Oxides Fit Into the World

2007-02-08
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.)
