  • Transport and Fate of Chemicals in the Environment

    Selected Entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology

    Edited by John S. Gulliver ...
    Series series Chemistry and Material Science (R0)
    What happens when a chemical is released into the environment? It diffuses, disperses, adsorbs, reacts, and/or changes state. To predict and analyze this process, the mathematics of diffusion is applied to lakes, rivers, groundwater, the atmosphere, the oceans, and transport between these media. A sustainable world requires a deep understanding of the transport of chemicals through the environment ... Read more

  • Redox

    Fundamentals, Processes and Applications

    Few processes are as important for environmental geochemistry as the interplay between the oxidation and reduction of dissolved and solid species. The knowledge of the redox conditions is most important to predict the geochemical behaviour of a great number of components, the mobilities of which are directly or indirectly controlled by redox processes. The understanding of the chemical mechanisms ... Read more
