Description
Book SynopsisThe IUPAC Series on Analytical and Physical Chemistry ofEnvironmental Systems provides the scientific community with acritical evaluation of the state of the art on physicochemicalstructures and reactions in environmental systems, as well as onthe analytical techniques required to study and monitor thesesystems. The series is aimed at promoting rigorous analysis andunderstanding of physicochemical functioning of environmentalsystems.
Soils are a major component of the ecosystem. A fundamentalawareness of soil structures and processes at the molecular andmicroscopic level is therefore essential to understanding andregulating the behaviour of environmental systems and thecirculation and impact of anthropogenic compounds. Structure andSurface Reactions of Soil Particles addresses the basics ofstructure and surface reactions of both soil particles and colloidsand describes their characterization and properties. New approachesusing fractal analysis of particle dimensions, aggregati
