2 SOME DEFINITIONS MINERAL A mineral substance is defined as a naturally occurring, homogeneous solid, inorganically formed, with a well defined chemical composition (or range of compositions), and an ordered atomic arrangement, that has been formed by geological processes, either on Earth or in extraterrestrial bodies (Mineralogical Society of America)

3 SOME DEFINITIONS NATURAL vs. NON-NATURAL, SYNTHETIC, MAN-MADE (WHAT ELSE?)

4 SOME DEFINITIONS NATURAL vs. NON-NATURAL, SYNTHETIC, MAN-MADE (WHAT ELSE?) not involving anything made or done by people

5 SOME DEFINITIONS NATURAL vs. NON-NATURAL, SYNTHETIC, MAN-MADE (WHAT ELSE?) no chemical substances added and therefore thought to be healthy UNHEALTHY CRUDE OIL (geological/no chemicals added) WTF? WINE (man-induced chemical reactions) HEALTHY

6 SOME DEFINITIONS MINERAL A mineral substance is defined as a naturally occurring, homogeneous solid, inorganically formed, with a well defined chemical composition (or range of compositions), and an ordered atomic arrangement, that has been formed by geological processes, either on Earth or in extraterrestrial bodies (Mineralogical Society of America)

7 SOME DEFINITIONS NATURAL vs. NON-NATURAL, SYNTHETIC, MAN-MADE (WHAT ELSE?)

8 INDUSTRIAL MINERAL SOME DEFINITIONS A geological material obtained by mining (in its broadest sense) which represents a non-metallic, non-fuel raw material of commercial value (An Introduction to Industrial Minerals)

9 EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL MINERALS Some metal ores are also used as industrial minerals Rutile (TiO 2 ) Extraction of Ti and use as Ti-oxide TioCem Chromite (FeCr 2 O 4 ) Extraction of Cr and use as Cr-oxide

10 EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL MINERALS Industrial minerals may be obtained as by-products of ore mining Galena (PbS) Baryte (BaSO 4 ) Sfalerite (ZnS) Fluorite (CaF 2 )

11 EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL MINERALS Asbestos Baryte Calcite Clays Corundum Diamond Dolomite Feldspar Graphite Gypsum Magnesite Mica Quartz Talc Zeolite Zircon

12 EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL MINERALS Clay minerals distribution in soils CAOLINITE ILLITE SMECTITE Worldwide kaolinite production (USGS, 2017) 37,000,000 T

13 EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL MINERALS Clay distribution in marine sediments

14 EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL MINERALS Worldwide limestone production (USGS, 2017) 350,000,000 T

15 Properties of materials made from industrial minerals

16 BULK PROPERTIES Microstructural features Microstructure = set of spatial and geometrical relationships among the different phases present in a heterogeneous material A heterogeneous material is made of domains of different phases, or of a single phase in different states of aggregation Colloids Gels Foams Emulsions Soils Earth s crust Bones Blood TYNDALL EFFECT Solution Colloid
