Garrett provides a comprehensive overview of sodium sulfate from deposit formation, through processing technologies and usage.Garrett's reference addresses the need for a comprehensive handbook on this industrial mineral. Dr. Garrett's unique chemical engineering background and flair for history have allowed him to integrate information about the major borate deposits in the world with a discussion of their sociopolitical impact throughout the ages. The scope and detail of the book are unequaled in the literature.
First comprehensive reference on naturally occuring sodium sulfates, their chemistry, deposits, and applications
