Donald L. Sparks 7/7/1998 Search this book Comprehensive bibliographies provide the reader with the most up-to-date references availableExtensive tables and figures facilitate an understanding of the textThe most modern spectroscopic/microscopic tools are applied to environmentally important reactions to gain atomic/molecular resolution dataThe application of theory to real-world problems in the field is clearly articulatedInformation from multiple sources is combined in one convenient and comprehensive textDiscussions on techniques, measurements, and models that can be employed to speciate soil contaminants and to make sound decisions about the need to remediate polluted sites
Soil PhysicalChemistry, SecondEdition takes up where the last edition left off. With comprehensive and contemporary discussions on equilibrium and kinetic aspects of major soil chemical process and reactions this excellent text/reference presents new chapters on precipitation/dissolution, modeling of adsorption reactions at the mineral/water interface, and the chemistry of humic substances. An emphasis is placed on understanding soil chemical reactions from a microscopic point of view and rigorous theoretical developments such as the use of modern in situ surface chemical probes such as x-ray adsorption fine structure (XAFS), Fournier transform. infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, and scanning probe microscopies (SPM) are discussed.
