Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will introduce students to the basic concepts required to apply mineralogy to environmental problems. After the general introduction, a selection of techniques used to characterize minerals in solid environmental samples will be discussed in detail.The properties and environmental role of minerals participating or forming in environmental processes will be discussed. Relationships between primary phases and secondary alteration phases will be highlighted. Topics such as long-termed management of the radioactive waste, microorganisms and minerals and nanominerals and the environment will also be discussed in detail.A third section of the course would go into greater detail on mineralogical aspects of mine wastes, remediation of sites contaminated by mining activities and overview of the applicable analytical methods. This will be illustrated through several case-studies.
Assessment and permitted materials
Written exam will include 10 questions from the different aspects of environmental mineralogy.
The examination date(s) will be agreed among teacher and students.
