Geochemical and Hydrological Reactivity of Heavy Metals in Soils
This volume aims at providing a coherent presentation of recent developments and
understanding of heavy metal reactivity in soils. Such an understanding is necessary
in addressing heavy metals concerns in the environment. The implicit framework of
multiple reactivity acknowledges the widely known role played by the various
colloidal surface functional groups in concomitant reactions. This overarching frame
of reference allows unification between molecular structure-reactivity relationships
at one scale and transport processes at the other....
