ABSTRACT

Studies of interfacial reactions include analysis of both the bulk phases and their interface. Analysis means using not only qualitative and quantitative analytical methods, but also structural studies of the phases and an investigation of the chemical species present by means of thermodynamic calculations and/or experimental techniques. For the interfacial studies on rocks and soils, many different classical and novel methods can be used. In this chapter, the most important methods used for the analysis of solid, liquid, and interface will be presented.
