Cation Binding by Humic Substances by Edward Tipping (English) Paperback Book

Description: Cation Binding by Humic Substances by Edward Tipping This book focuses on the important binding properties of these compounds which regulate the chemical reactivity and bioavailability of hydrogen and metal ions in the natural environment. Topics covered include the physico-chemical properties of humic matter and interactions of protons and metal cations with weak acids and macromolecules. Experimental laboratory methods are also discussed, together with mathematical modelling. Finally the author looks at how the results of this research can be used to interpret environmental phenomena in soils, waters and sediments. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Humic substances are highly-abundant organic compounds formed in soils and sediments by the decay of dead plants, microbes and animals. This book focuses on the important binding properties of these compounds which regulate the chemical reactivity and bioavailability of hydrogen and metal ions in the natural environment. Topics covered include the physico-chemical properties of humic matter and interactions of protons and metal cations with weak acids and macromolecules. Experimental laboratory methods are also discussed, together with mathematical modelling. Finally the author looks at how the results of this research can be used to interpret environmental phenomena in soils, waters and sediments. This comprehensive account of cation binding by humic matter is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, environmental scientists, ecologists and geochemists. Author Biography Edward Tipping works at the Natural Environment Research Council Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Cumbria, England, and is a Visiting Professor at the University of Lancaster. After receiving his PhD from the University of Manchester in 1973, he spent five years at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School researching cancer biochemistry. He has spent short periods in laboratories in Finland, Sweden, the USA, Norway and the Netherlands, and published over 120 papers in international journals. Table of Contents 1. Introduction; 2.

Review I wholeheartedly recommend the book to all workers in the field. John Hamilton-Taylor, Chemistry and Industry ... this is a very useful and important monograph. Angewandte Chemie Review Quote "...this is a very valuable book that develops the HS-cation interaction in a comprehensive way. The well-developed structure of the book explores the most general information as well as very detailed aspects of HS-cation interactions. Readers looking for an introduction into the topic as well as readers looking for very specific information on a certain cation will find the book useful...This book is a helpful reference tool for graduate students in soil and environmental sciences, and scientists, engineers, and practitioners working in environmental studies." Vadose Zone Journal Promotional "Headline" This book provides description, modelling and interpretation of important environmental interactions for environmental scientists, ecologists and geochemists. Description for Bookstore The first comprehensive account of these important environmental interactions, this book describes the binding reactions, how they can be mathematically modelled, and how this knowledge is used to interpret environmental phenomena in soils, waters and sediments. A valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, environmental scientists, ecologists and geochemists.
