Adsorption of Metals by Geomedia: Variables, Mechanisms, and Model Applications by Everett Jenne (Repost)

This book documents under one cover the current status of adsorption research for a variety of metals and earth materials. Virtually all factors affecting the extent of metal adsorption on geomedia ranging from single minerals to sediments and soils are examinded, including the effects of selected anions, competition among metals, pH, metal concentration, loading, variable and stoichiometry, solids concentration, and artifact effects of precipitation.

A wide-ranging review of the status of adsorption research in Chapter 1 and priorities for future research in Chapter 25 open and close this comprehensive reference, which will also find application in geochemistry and environmental chemistry courses. Technical terms are defined either explicitly or in context for the benefit of those new to the field. Surface complexation models are used to extend laboratory studies to field sites.

*Includes a wide-ranging review of the status of adsorption research and a prospectus on future research
*Details all known factors affecting the extent of adsorption
*Covers basic adsorption equations and interrelationships
*Clearly documents experimental procedures
*Presents adsorption data for eleven metals and three other elements
*Uses normalization to greatly reduce apparent variability among absorbents
*Provides extensive literature citations and a comprehensive index
