Excessive levels of heavy metals can be introduced into the environment, for example, by industrial waste or fertilizers. Soil represents a major sink for heavy metals ions, which can then enter the food chain via plants or leaching into groundwater. In Heavy Metal Ions in the Environment, the author looks at where heavy metals ions come from, how they interact with the environment and how they can be removed from the environment – by a process known as remediation. This book serves as a valuable addition to an increasingly important field of study, which is, at present, served by a limited number of archival texts. - Includes comprehensive coverage of heavy metal ions in the environment - Is practical and easy to read - Is suitable for students and researchers in environmental science and environmental or chemical engineering
This comprehensive reference collects fundamental theories and recent research from a wide range of fields including biology, biochemistry, physics, applied mathematics, and computer, materials, surface, and colloid science-providing key references, tools, and analytical techniques for practical applications in industrial, agricultural, and forensic processes, as well as in the production of natural and synthetic compounds such as foods, minerals, paints, proteins, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and soaps.
Appending the Encyclopedia of Surface and Colloid Science by 42 entries as well as 3800 new citations, 1012 equations, and 485 illustrations and chemical structures, this important supplement summarizes a constellation of new theoretical and experimental findings related to chemical characterization, mechanisms, interfacial behavior, methods and mo

This book interweaves the author’s personal story and observations of nature, with scientific research, and philosophical reflection. It tells the story of nearly three decades of labor to ecologically restore twenty-one acres of ruined land near Dayton, Ohio. This story and what the author has observed motivate reflection on the human relationship to soil, the inner lives of animals, the intelligence of plants, and human psychology. The book advances the case for the intelligence and kinship of all living things, an ethic of respect for life, and the need to radically rethink how human societies live on Earth.
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Im Zuge einer Ökokontomaßnahme werden der ehemalige Campingplatz "Zur Wackenmühle" sowie ein Wochenendgrundstück am nahegelegenen Kretschberg in der Gemeinde Rehlingen-Siersburg renaturiert. Aufgabe dieser Diplomarbeit ist es, ein touristisches Nutzungskonzept für die wieder naturnah gestalteten Flächen auf dem Gelände des ehemaligen Campingplatzes zu entwerfen. Hierbei ist vor allem auch auf Konflikte zwischen Nutzung der Flächen und Naturschutz zu achten. Das Projektgebiet „Zur Wackenmühle“ liegt direkt an der Nied und befindet sich im südwestlichen Teil des Naturparks Saar-Hunsrück im Saarland. Eine interaktive Projektskizze befindet sich im Anhang...
APPLIED WATER SCIENCE VOLUME 2 The second volume in a new two-volume set on applied water science, this book provides understanding, occurrence, identification, toxic effects and control of water pollutants in an aquatic environment using green chemistry protocols. The high rate of industrialization around the world has led to an increase in the rate of anthropogenic activities which involve the release of different types of contaminants into the aquatic environment. This generates high environmental risks, which could affect health and socio-economic activities if not treated properly. There is no doubt that the rapid progress in improving water quality and management has been motivated by ...
