Course content

Principles and methods of petrography can be applied not only in the research of rocks, but also in production and quality control of various inorganic technical materials. Petrography is also applied to the description of the status of natural monuments and cultural heritage, to identification of the causes of their degradation and checking of restauration techniques. The students will be acquainted with technologies of production of the main types of technical materials (natural and "reconstituted" minerals and rocks, ceramics, binders, slags, monocrystalline materials, metals and alloys, composites, nanocomposites). Interaction of natural components with man-made matrices, methods of complex evaluation of material characteristics of technolites. Interaction of rocks and technolites with soil, water and atmosphere - especially processes running in basement constructions of buldings in interaction with rock and soil environment, with atmosphere and living organisms (weathering). Presented will also processes of interaction of rocks and technolites with pedosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere - above all processes running in basement constructions, interactions of technical materials with rocks, armosphere and living organisms (weathering). The course provides knowledge on the role of minerals in the environment, their formation and transformations in supergenesis and technogenesis, inmpact of juman activities, ddissolution and precipitation of minerals by microorganisms. Students arefamiliarized with so called environmental minerals, utilized in maintenance of the environment - formation of mineral reaction barriers, scavengers of toxic elements, mineral sorbents, ion exchangers, fillers (clay minerals, modified clays, zeolites), catalyzers or mineral-based substances used for energy storage. The role of mineralogy in waste treatment and neutralization - mineral matrices for low- and high-level radioactive waste (glass, SYNROC, phosphates, niobotantalates, silicates). Use of minerals in costruction of controlled dumps and landfills. Special chapter form nanominerals and their synthetic analogues, distinguished by a number of mineral surface properties differing from their meso- and macroformsof the same compounds. Influence of some minerals oh the human health - asbestos, free silica, coal dust.
