The retention (or release) of a liquid compound on a solid controls the mobility of many
substances in the environment and has been quantified in terms of the “sorption isotherm” …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the principles of kinetics to clay minerals and
soils and reviews present literature dealing with the kinetics of elemental reactions in these …

This chapter presents a comprehensive and review of the chemistry and mineralogy of soil
potassium (K). In soils, K is also present in fixed form upon reacting with weathered micas …

The study of potassium (K) exchange on clay minerals and soils can be viewed from either a
thermodynamic or a kinetic perspective. In pursuing the soil science literature, one will …

The kinetics of reactions in soil and aquatic environments is a topic of extreme importance
and interest. To properly understand the fate of applied fertilizers, pesticides, and organic …

The fate of heavy metal particles in the environment is important because they tend to be
reactive, mobile, and highly toxic. Reactivity and Transport of Heavy Metals in Soils …

We used first-order, Elovich, parabolic diffusion, and zero-order equations to describe the
kinetics of K-Ca exchange in kaolinite, montmorillonite, vermiculite and soils of the Atlantic …

We investigated the adsorption of uranium (VI) at atmospheric CO2 partial pressure in a
bicarbonate background ionic medium (pH 9.0±0.2). Goethite-coated sand was used as …

Methods of obtaining and analyzing kinetic data for soil systems are examined in this review
chapter. Relaxation methods are used to obtain kinetic data for very fast ion association …

The availability of soil potassium (K) to plants is related to the nature of soil K reserves, the
chemistry of the structural configurations and surface properties of soil components involved …
