The Chemistry of Phosphate and Nitrogen Compounds in Sediments

The Chemistry of Phosphate and Nitrogen Compounds in Sediments This book deals with the processes behind cycles of the phosphate and nitrogen compounds in sediment and the phosphate equilibria between the sediment and the overlying water. In most waters, excessive concentrations of these compounds causes eutrophication: rapid, choking growth of algae. The chapters of this book probe the chemicals involved in considerable detail, and offer the complete understanding needed to remediate or prevent pollution problems. Autor: Han L.
