  • Redox

    Fundamentals, Processes and Applications

    Edited by J. Schüring, H.D. Schulz, W.R. Fischer, W.H.M. Duijnisveld, J. Böttcher ...
    Few processes are as important for environmental geochemistry as the interplay between the oxidation and reduction of dissolved and solid species. The knowledge of the redox conditions is most important to predict the geochemical behaviour of a great number of components, the mobilities of which are directly or indirectly controlled by redox processes. The understanding of the chemical mechanisms ... Read more
