Emphasis is placed on sorption\/desorption  and the dissolution kinetics of organic contaminants, both of which  are limited by the slow speed of molecular diffusion. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eDiffusion in Natural Porous Media: Contaminant Transport,\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eSorption\/Desorption and Dissolution Kinetics\u003c\/em\u003e compiles methods  for calculating the diffusion coefficients of organic compounds (in  aqueous solution or vapor phase) in natural porous media. The author  uses analytical solutions of Fick's 2nd law and some simple numerical  models to model diffusive transport under various initial and boundary  conditions. A number of these models may be solved using spreadsheets.  \u003cbr\u003e  The book examines sorption\/desorption rates of organic compounds in  various soils and aquifer materials, and also examines the dissolution  kinetics of nonaqueous phase liquids in aquifers, in both the trapped  residual phase and in pools. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eDiffusion in Natural Porous Media: Contaminant Transport,\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eSorption\/Desorption and Dissolution Kinetics\u003c\/em\u003e concludes with a  discussion of the impact of slow diffusion processes on soil and  groundwater decontamination and the implications of these processes  for groundwater risk assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461376026\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461376026\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5683-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 207\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359205191820,"sku":"9781461376026","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461376026_d0b0cfa2-4a91-411d-b7ca-81eb340ecfa7.jpg?v=1755105109","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461376026","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
