Extraction of Metals from Soils and Waters

This text aims to demonstrate the impact inorganic chemistry can have on the environment. Also, it introduces the reader to all aspects of heavy metal extraction. While the primary emphasis is on complexation chemistry, attention is also paid to phase transfer aspects - particular methods of note include electrokinetics, phytoremediation, and sensors. Aimed primarily at chemists, this book should also appeal to engineers, plant biochemists, environmental health specialists, and practitioners or students of environmental law.
