Infrared Spectra of Reference Clay Minerals American Petroleum Institute Project 49, Clay Mineral Standards, Preliminary Report No. 8

The book ""Infrared Spectra Of Reference Clay Minerals: American Petroleum Institute Project 49, Clay Mineral Standards, Preliminary Report No. 8"" by Hans H. Adler is a comprehensive reference guide for researchers and professionals in the field of clay mineralogy. The book is a part of the American Petroleum Institute Project 49, which aims to develop standardized methods for identifying and characterizing clay minerals.The book provides detailed information on the infrared spectra of reference clay minerals, which are commonly used in the oil and gas industry. The infrared spectra are presented in the form of graphs and tables, along with detailed explanations of the various peaks and bands observed in the spectra.The book also includes information on the preparation and characterization of the reference clay minerals, as well as the methods used for collecting and analyzing the infrared spectra. The preliminary report presented in the book is based on the analysis of six different reference clay minerals, including kaolinite, illite, montmorillonite, vermiculite, chlorite, and smectite.Overall, ""Infrared Spectra Of Reference Clay Minerals: American Petroleum Institute Project 49, Clay Mineral Standards, Preliminary Report No. 8"" is a valuable resource for anyone working in the field of clay mineralogy, particularly those involved in the oil and gas industry. The book provides a standardized approach to identifying and characterizing clay minerals, which can help to improve the accuracy and reliability of analytical results.Additional Contributing Authors Are John M.
