Kinetics of Soil Chemical Processes

Kinetics of reactions in soil and aquatic environments is a timely topic of extreme importance and interest. To clearly understand the effects of applied fertilizers, pesticides, and organic pollutants over a period of time, and to thus improve nutrient availability and the quality of our groundwater, one must study kinetics. This is the first comprehensive treatment of these subjects and will be a valuable reference for students and professionals in soil, geochemistry, environmental engineering, and geology. Features: * Demonstrates different kinetic methodologies * Shows how reactions on soil and soil constituents can be measured by utilizing different techniques * Describes rates and mechanisms of interactions with pesticides and organic pollutants with soil * Covers the kinetics of chemical weathering * Discusses how to use mathematical modeling and computer simulation to model kinetic reactionsSparks, Donald L. is the author of 'Kinetics of Soil Chemical Processes' with ISBN 9780126564402 and ISBN 012656440X.
