During the last four decades, tremendous advances have been made
towards the understanding of transport characteristics of
contaminants in soils, solutes, and tracers in geological media.
Transport & Fate of Chemicals in Soils: Principles &
Applications offers a comprehensive treatment of the subject
complete with supporting examples of mathematical models that
describe contaminants reactivity and transport in soils and
aquifers. This approach makes it a practical guide for designing
experiments and collecting data that focus on characterizing
retention as well as release kinetic reactions in soils and
contaminant transport experiments in the laboratory, greenhouse),
and in the field. The book provides the basic framework of the
principals governing the sorption and transport of chemicalsin
soils. It focuses on physical processes such as fractured media,
multiregion, multiple porosities, and heterogeneity and effect of
scale as well as chemical processes such as nonlinear kinetics,
release and desorption hysteresis, multisite and multireaction
reactions, and competitive-type reactions. The coverage also
includes details of sorption behavior of chemicals with soil matrix
surfaces as well the integration of sorption characteristics with
mechanisms that govern solute transport in soils. The discussions
of applications of the principles of sorption and transport are not
restricted to contaminants, but also include nitrogen, phosphorus,
and trace elements including essential micronutrients, heavy
metals, military explosives, pesticides, and radionuclides. Written
in a very clear and easy-to-follow language by a pioneer in soil
science, this book details the basic framework of the physical and
chemical processes governing the transport of contaminants, trace
elements, and heavy metals in soils. Highly practical, it includes
laboratory methods, examples, and empirical formulations. The
approach taken by the author gives you not only the fundamentals of
understanding of reactive chemicals retention and their transport
in soils and aquifers, but practical guidance you can put to
immediate use in designing experiments and collecting data.
