********
The metal sulfides are the most important group of ore minerals, constituting
the raw materials for most of the world supplies of non-ferrous metals.
Pure metal sulfides and those synthesized with carefully controlled nonstoichiometry
or impurity content also have important industrial applications,
particularly in the field of electronics. Thus, research on synthetic
and natural metal sulfides has involved physicists, chemists, metallurgists
and mineralogists, who have employed a wide range of experimental and
theoretical approaches. This book attempts to survey these methods and
theories and to discuss the current state of knowledge regarding metal sulfides
of mineralogical importance. It is hoped that advanced undergraduate
students, graduate students and research workers will find it a useful introduction
to the work currently being undertaken in this field. The book is
aimed particularly at mineralogists, but it is hoped that workers in other
disciplines will also find it valuable.
The mineral sulfides are considered here to be a group of natural crystalline
materials and their synthetic analogs, which are dominated by binary
and ternary compounds of sulfur with iron, nickel, copper, zinc and lead.
These, together with sulfides of manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, silver
and mercury, which (although less abundant) are of considerable industrial
importance, are discussed throughout the text. Where appropriate for purposes
of comparison, the discussion is broadened to include sulfur minerals
of the metals chromium, gallium, germanium, arsenic, ruthenium, rhodium,
palladium, calcium, indium, tin, antimony, tungsten, osmium, iridium,
platinum, bismuth; to encompass all the chalcogenides (selenides and tellurides
as well as sulfides) of these metals, and to include compounds
containing arsenic and antimony as anions...
In presenting the material, it was decided to emphasize particular techniques
or areas of study rather than particular sulfide minerals. Thus,
various chapters consider the crystal structures, magnetic and electrical
properties, spectra, chemical bonding, thermochemistry and phase relations
of sulfides by utilizing the most important sulfides as examples. A reader
interested in a particular sulfide mineral will have to consult relevant
sections throughout the text. The authors appreciate that this method of
presentation has some disadvantages, but consider it better suited to the
objectives of this book than a complete discussion of each mineral in turn.
The value of the book as a source of data has been increased by the
inclusion of appendices containing mineralogical, thermochemical and
phase equilibria data.
