Book Description:
|
Soil and rock absorb various substances that greatly impact their behavior. Mechanisms and strength of sorption and chemical transformations due to sorption are influenced by mineral structure, interfacial forces, and conditions of the geological environment. This book is the first to present a comprehensive treatment of thermodynamics at the soil/liquid-interface. It provides readers with a review of fundamental interfacial processes before discussing chemical and physical...
More DescriptionSoil and rock absorb various substances that greatly impact their behavior. Mechanisms and strength of sorption and chemical transformations due to sorption are influenced by mineral structure, interfacial forces, and conditions of the geological environment. This book is the first to present a comprehensive treatment of thermodynamics at the soil/liquid-interface. It provides readers with a review of fundamental interfacial processes before discussing chemical and physical transformations of soils and rocks, with emphasis on the chemical. It shows how researchers can apply the radiotracer method to study the effect of several factors simultaneously on such variables as PH and concentration ranges.
