Within the field of soil science, soil chemistry encompasses the
different chemical processes that take place, including mineral
weathering, humification of organic plant residues, and ionic
reactions involving natural and foreign metal ions that play
significant roles in soil. Chemical reactions occur both in the
soil solution and at the soil particle-solution interface-the
latter surface reactions being vitally important in soil properties
and behavior. The binding of ions to soil particles is important in
defining the fate of foreign species, such as pollutants, and has a
direct impact on nutrient availability. Soil Colloids: Properties
and Ion Binding examines soil colloidal components and their
interactions with ionic species, integrating soil science and
colloid chemistry and considering the latest advances in this
active research area. Part I covers the fundamentals of colloid
science for readers not familiar with these principles. It
discusses all the important concepts, without excessive detail such
as extensive mathematical derivations. Part II deals with soil and
its components, especially clay and oxide minerals and humic
substances. It covers their composition and characteristics, with
an emphasis on colloidal properties and ion sorption on colloids.
Part III provides in-depth coverage of ion binding to soil
colloids, with a focus on modeling, including recent advances.
Chapters in this section describe general concepts and the issues
arising from the heterogeneous nature of most natural colloids,
particularly organic ones. Reviewing the state of the art in
dealing with the more complex interactions, the text covers ion
binding to minerals and humics, presenting different theoretical
approaches, as well as ion binding to multiple components, or whole
natural soils.
