The hydrological and geochemical interactions between clay minerals and organic matter in soils directly influence the reaction, behavior, and mobility of heavy metals in soils. Geochemical and Hydrological Reactivity of Heavy Metals in Soils is one of few books that comprehensively illustrates this cause-and-effect relationship. It highlights analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and environmental electron microscopy and reveals how molecular-level modeling is used to remove metal contaminants from the environment. It is thus a practical guide for soil and groundwater scientists, ecologists, and government regulators.
Industry Reviews
"[W]ell written and informative, covering numerous experimental and modeling approaches for understanding the reactions that dictate the fate and transport of heavy metals in soils. Chapters in the book could prove useful for seminar courses for advanced undergraduates or graduate students and also be useful as an entrie into the literature for interested parties at all levels." - Soil Science, Vol. 170, No. 2, February 2005 "This book, which is rich in case studies and modeling approaches, goes a long way in evaluating the critical aspects of biogeochemistry and soil hydrology. informative in a timely way and useful. a worthy compilation which I recommend to all scientists who are working on heavy metals in soil." - European Journal of Soil Science, Vol. 55, 2004 Promo Copy
