The relation between chemistry and petrography, the science of the classification of rocks, was somewhat closer since chemical composition was thought by some petrographers to offer a basis for rational classification. But early efforts to categorize rocks by their chemical composition were frustrated as it was discovered that it was impossible to find simple chemical formulas for these bodies. Rocks of different mineral composition fell into the same chemical categories, and rocks that were chemically alike were sometimes quite different in structure, texture, and field relations. Moreover, the success of H. Clifton Sorby s technique for the microscopic study of thin sections of rocks accentuated the tendency to identify rocks on the basis of external rather than internal properties (14, 15). 

It is unfortunate that very few studies have been undertaken which relate the methane decomposition process conditions and CF yields to the CF quality (surface area, structure/texture, mechanical strength etc). From a process application view point it is extremely important to comprehensively investigate this aspect of CF formation. 

A major objective of heterogeneous catalysis is interpreting catalytic behavior in terms of the structure, texture, and chemistry of the catalyst surface. Achieving this objective requires detailed knowledge of the surface at an atomic level. 

Currently, a wide range of technological applications is based on the sorptive and catalytic properties of sepiolite [2], Sepiolite is increasingly being used as a decolorizing agent [3], as a catalyst or catalyst carrier [4-6], and as odorant adsorbents in environmental applications [7-9], Several papers have appeared recently that examine the structural, textural and sorptive properties of untreated sepiolite [10-12] and of sepiolite subjected previously to acid and/or thermal treatment [13-16], Sepiolite has also been used recently as... 

From measurement results, it is possible to identify polycrystalline materials from their structure, texture, porosity, monocrystalline materials on crystallographic orientation and glass, considering the heterogeneity of the vitreous phase. 

Despite the distinct technique of acting on the sample and the relatively wide scatter of results observed for materials of similar structure, texture and chemical composition, the method is nevertheless useful because the results can be related readily to hardness values determined by other methods, for both rocks and metals (Fig. 4.5.2). 

New experimental techniques and several of their applications were presented which help in the understanding of structure, texture and stability of food systems. For future research, the mechanism of film stability by the microlayering of colloid particles seems to be the most promising - especially in food emulsions and foams. Work is in progress in our laboratory to calculate the oscillatory disjoining pressure inside liquid films containing microlayers [30],... 

The technical factors that must be considered include (1) volatility of pollutants, (2) lateral and vertical concentration of VOCs, (3) soil types and properties (e.g., structure, texture, permeability, stratification, and moisture content), (4) emission control requirement, (5) schedule for cleanup, (6) position and length of screened interval, (7) blower type, and (8) site factors (e.g., depth and contaminated extension area, depth to water table). 

Diagenesis processes that alter the structure, texture, and mineralogy of a sediment, turning it progressively into solid hard rock early diagenesis occurs immediately after deposition or burial of the sediment. 

Deactivation, or more generally, changes in activity/ selectivity, reflect changes in composition, structure, texture and surface state. These changes are due to processes belonging to seven main categories, all of which may interact with each other ...

After review of the manuscript of this chapter, a paper by Knauth and Lowe (2003) has been published in which structure, texture, and oxygen isotope composition of cherts of the Swaziland Supergroup (including the Fig Tree and Onverwacht Formations) are discussed. The maximum recorded 5 0 value of - -22%c reported in this paper is not significantly different from the value reported in this chapter for these formations, but it does reinforce the interpretation that this is a value that has been preserved from sedimentation or very early diagenesis. 

Perspectives. Ordered mesostnictured and mesoporous silica has been known for little more than ten years. Tremendous progress has been made with respect to precise control of the structure, texture, and chemical fimctionality of the surface of these materials. His lecture surveyed the synthesis of such materials, with a focus on organically ordered mesoporous materials. Quite a number of contributions dealt with amorphous fumed silica, its Physical-Chemical Features and Related Hazard Risk Assessment (M. Heinemann), the description of fractal aggregates (C. Batz-Sohn), and the Characterization of Size and Structure of Fumed Silica Particles in Suspension (F. Babick). E. Brendle reported on Adsorption of Water on Fumed Silica, and in a second paper he summarized research on Methylene Chloride Adsorption on Pyrogenic Silica Surfaces. 

Because of the promoting effects of ceria in many catalytic reactions, the preparation of high surface area and thermally stable ceria phases as well as the study of the parameters which control structural, textural and redox properties of the material are of particular interest [14-15],... 

The hydrothermal deactivation of Y zeolite containing 0, 4, 7 and 12 wt.% of REO and its effects on catalytic activity, stability and selectivity were investigated. The Y zeolites were hydrothermally deactivated at 788°C in three consecutive cycles of two hours each. The fresh and deactivated zeolites were characterized by measuring Unit Cell Size (UCS) and surface area. The acidic properties were measured by the Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) of ammonia and IR-pyridine desorption. In order to correlate structural, textural and acid properties with catalytic behavior, the zeolites were evaluated in the conversion of cyclohexane. The Hydrogen Transfer Index (HTI) measured as a ratio of paraffins to olefins is a parameter of the selectivity. It was found that the REO was incorporated into zeolite structure up to high concentrations modifying to some extent XRD deflection, the acidic properties and the HTI ratio. After deactivation, the acidity and HTI were diminished and the Lewis/Bronsted acid ratio was modified. HTI decreased as REO concentration increased. 

During heating to reaction temperature, one or more of the following steps may change the structure, texture and reactivity of the reactant. 

The techniques given in Table 4.2 are well established and have been sub-divided into those which are described as either static or dynamic. We feel this distinction is of particular importance in the characterisation of the porous structure of membranes. Here the performance is determined by the complex link between the structural texture and transport behaviour. An insight into this complexity is frequently provided by dynamic techniques, which are not restricted by the limited quantity of membrane material and are sensitive to the active pathways through the porous structure. Further developments are required in this area both in the improvement of existing techniques and introduction of new techniques. Progress will also come from advances in the theory and modelling of flow behaviour in such porous media, which involve percolation theory and fractal geometry for example. With the refinement of such... 

Evidence of wet conditions in the two mines are active leaks, puddles and pools of water on the floor, drippings from the ceiling and stalactites and stalagmites (Figs. 6—10). These are some of the characteristic features of anomalous zones which also exhibit blowouts (gas pressure pockets), oil and gas seeps, unusual variations of structure, texture, clastic inclusions and...
