Features

  • Fundamentals of heavy metal interactions in interfacial and multi-species soil systems
  • Contributions from experts in a variety of disciplines with insight and expertise in soil contamination and metal speciation
  • Suggested approaches for the design of soil remediation strategy for soil contamination by heavy metals

    • Summary

    Metal Speciation and Contamination of Soil provides a thorough overview of the biogeochemical processes governing the behavior, transport, and bioavailability of heavy metals in contaminated soils and suggests alternative approaches for effective remediation. This important new book contains contributions from experts in various disciplines who explore the issues from theoretical, experimental, and pragmatic perspectives. Topics include redox chemistry, kinetics of metal reactions, spectroscopic characterization of metal ion reactions at surface, modeling hydrologic transport phenomena and colloid-associated transport of metals through the soil profile to ground water, and remediation alternatives.
