Description
A practical guide to manipulating subsurface geochemistry for environmental remediation, this book addresses specific treatment objectives such as the precipitation of metals and radionuclides. It examines the complexities associated with the design, implementation, and control of relevant processes, providing case studies to demonstrate real-life applications. It includes an appendix with detailed information on a range of relevant metals and radionuclides based on their geochemical behavior. The book also covers the remediation of mining residuals, including acid mine drainage and heap leaching wastes.
