Name: Metals in Groundwater
Brand: CRC Press

CRC Press

This book provides a realistic overview of metal speciation and transport in groundwaters from theoretical, experimental, and \""real world\"" perspectives. It is the outgrowth of a workshop on metal speciation and transport in groundwaters. > Metal contamination of groundwater results from many human activities, including agriculture, mining, and the disposal of municipal waste and fly ash. Metals in Groundwater describes the transport of metals to groundwater from these and other sources. It also covers risk assessment of metals in groundwater, coupling of chemicals and hydrological models, and sorption of metals onto soils and clays. The speciation of metals is examined in detail. The book will interest researchers in environmental quality, mining, and agriculture; consultants; industry professionals; and personnel within regulatory agencies. > 1. Adsorption to Heterogeneous Surfaces 2. Metal cationianion Adsorption on Calcium Carbonate: Implications to Metal Ion Concentration.
