This book presents topical research in the study of the types,
petrology and uses of basalt. Topics discussed include basalt-crust
interaction processes; examination of the origin of the low-K basaltic
magmas of the Shirataka volcano; dissolution reaction of basalt and
underground sequestration of CO2 in deep basaltic aquifers in Japan;
usability of commercially available continuous basalt fibre as
reinforcement of composites with enhanced thermal stability as compared
to E-glass fibre and modern basalt fibrous materials and basalt fibre
based polymeric composites.
