This book presents a constructive examination of colloidal clay from soil found in Missouri and analyzes its physical and chemical properties in great detail. The author posits that the negative colloid found in the soil studied is a naturally occurring end product of rock decomposition, rather than a mixture of separate oxides. The author compares the properties of this negative colloid with a synthetic mixture of ferric hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, and silicic acid he created to mimic the chemical composition of the negative colloid. The author finds that while the synthetic colloid is positively charged, the natural colloid is negatively charged. The author attributes this difference to the formation of a large proportion of electrically neutral particles and a higher concentration of potential on the remaining particles. The synthetic mixture is also much more sensitive to flocculation than the natural colloid. This book will appeal to soil scientists and chemists interested in characterizing the chemical and physical properties of clay soils.
