Opis

A timely addition to the literature, this book highlights the desorpti on/release mechanisms for the purpose of resolving remediation dilemma s in contaminated environments. It gives you the added advantage of ca se studies at both the microscopic and macroscopic scales, and provide s both experimental and numerical investigations. With contributions f rom an international panel of authors, Heavy Metals Release in Soils f ills a gap in the current literature concerned with subsurface contami nant fate and transport processes.

Recenzje

"Going through this book could enhance one's understanding of the processes and mechanisms controlling the eventual fate of metal contaminants in the soil environment. This can be particularly helpful in assessing the efficacy of a particular soil remendation technique in agricultural and industrial-type setting."
-D.C. Adriano, Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, University of Georgia

"… this book presents some very good information. … interesting and worth reading. … a good reference for writing papers and grant proposals. … worth adding to your collection.
