The geochemistry of the earth 's surface is controlled by chemical
equilibrium, and the kinetics of the approach toward equilibrium.
Many low temperature processes, such as weathering, do not reach
equilibrium except over geologically long time periods. The
approach to equilibrium can be described by kinetic theory and the
application of kinetic theory to geochemical systems has made vast
advances in the last several decades. Geochemical kinetics as a
topic is now of importance to a wide range of geochemists in
academia, industry, and government, and all geochemists need a
rudimentary knowledge of the field. This book will summarize the
fundamentals of geochemical kinetics with examples drawn especially
from mineral dissolution and precipitation, but will also encompass
discussion of high temperature processes and global geochemical
cycle modeling. Analysis of textures of rocks, sediments, and
mineral surfaces will be incorporated throughout and will be a
subtheme of the book.
