Mechanochemical treatment is one of the modern promising directions of the chemical and technological processes of obtaining a new substance as a result of the transformation of mechanical energy into the chemical and physical processes of system restructuring. This book presents years of research on the mechanochemical synthesis of composite systems, consisting of inorganic and organic components, obtained by the scientific team of the Institute of Combustion Problems.
The book contains, first of all, general ideas about the mechanochemical process and the phenomena accompanying it. The main provisions of structural rearrangement and modification of the surface of dispersible particles are considered, as well as thermodynamics of mechanochemical treatment of materials. Then, using the example of a number of natural minerals, it is shown how mechanochemical treatment can radically change their structure and properties, using various organic compounds as modifiers. Particular attention is paid to the use of ultrasonic treatment, as a kind of mechanical action in a liquid medium on a solid.
