Mechanochemistry as a branch of solid state chemistry enquires into processeswhich proceed in solids due to the application of mechanical energy. This provides a thorough, up to date overview of mechanochemistry of solids and minerals. Applications of mechanochemistry in nanoscience with special impact on nanogeoscience are described. Selected advanced identification methods, most frequently applied in nanoscience, are described as well as the advantage of mechanochemical approach in minerals engineering. Examples of industrial applications are given. Mechanochemical technology is being applied in many industrial fields: powder metallurgy (synthesis of nanometals, alloys and nanocompounds), building industry (activation of cements), chemical industry (solid waste treatment, catalyst synthesis, coal ashes utilization), minerals engineering (ore enrichment, enhancement of processes of extractive metallurgy), agriculture industry (solubility increase of fertilizers). Timely update of mechanochemistry, also given the useful description of its interaction with mechanical alloying Unique descriptions of the benefits of mechanochemistry applications in minerals engineering State-of-the-art overview of new applications of mechanochemical technologies, e.g. in pharmacy, production of nanochrystalline materials, amorphous alloys etcetera INDICE: Introduction.- 1.
