Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil properties such as water retention, salinity and acidity are not just issues for agriculture and forestry. They are equally as significant in creating environmental and structural problems for buildings and other engineering works. As an increasing proportion of the world's population is living in cities, and building and related infrastructure development continues, these problems assume ever-greater importance. In addition, existing works contribute to urban soil erosion and pollution as well as increased levels of urban runoff. Understanding Soils in Urban Environments explains how urban soils develop, change and erode. It describes their physical and chemical properties and focuses on specific soil problems, such as acid sulfate soils, that can cause environmental concern and also affect engineering works. It also addresses contemporary issues such as green roofs, urban green space and the man-made urban soils that plants may need to thrive in. It provides a concise introduction to all aspects of soils in urban environments and will be extremely useful to students in a wide range of disciplines, from soil science and urban forestry and horticulture, to planning, engineering, construction and land remediation, as well as to engineers, builders, landscape architects, ecologists, planners and developers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the extremely successful and popular Russell’s Soil Conditions and Plant Growth, Wiley-Blackwell is pleased to publish this completely revised and updated edition of the soil science classic. Covering all aspects of the interactions between plant and soil, Peter Gregory and Stephen Nortcliff, along with their team of internationally-known and respected authors, provide essential reading for all students and professionals studying and working in agriculture and soil science. Subject areas covered range from crop science and genetics; soil fertility and organic matter; nitrogen and phosphoros cycles and their management; properties and management of plant nutrients; water and the soil physical environment and its management; plants and change processes in soils; management of the soil/plant system; and new challenges including food, energy and water security in a changing environment. Providing a very timely account on how better to understand and manage the many interactions that occur between soils and plants, Soil Conditions and Plant Growth is sure to become the book of choice - as a recommended text for students and as an invaluable reference for those working or entering into the industry. An essential purchase for all universities and research establishments where agricultural, soil, and environmental sciences are studied and taught.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in the leaching of sulphide concentrates and in the associated area of iron precipitation are examined. Sherritt Gordon's technology of pressure leaching with oxygen and sulphuric acid is being applied commercially to zinc concentrates. A Zn recovery of over 98 per cent is achieved, and the associated pyrite is largely unaffected; elemental sulphur is the principal sulphidic product. Leaching processes with ferric chloride or cupric chloride, or both, are being applied to a wide variety of sulphide concentrates. Duval's CLEAR cupric chloride leach process for copper concentrates has been evaluated at the demonstration-plant scale, and many other processes using FeCl3 or CuCl2, or both, for copper have been piloted. Several chloride leaching processes for lead or pyritic zinc concentrates have also been tested successfully at the pilot level. All the processes stress the advantages of the formation of elemental sulphur and the relative lack of pyrite attack. Equally important advances have been made in the elucidation of the fundamental leaching reactions involved. Technologies for the precipitation of jarosite, goethite, and hematite are being used routinely for the control of iron in both sulphate and chloride media, and efforts are currently being made to control metal losses (Pb, Zn, Cu, Ag, etc.) associated with these precipitates. Although ongoing research has clarified many aspects of iron precipitation, it has yet to find large-tonnage uses for the various iron precipitates.

Download or read book Heavy Metals written by Wim Salomons and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Heavy Metals: Problems and Solutions" is divided into three sections dealing with basic geochemical processes, remediation and case studies. The basic geochemical processes are discussed with respect to mobility in the environment and impact as well as methods to derive guidelines for heavy metals. Remediation focuses on currently available methods to treat contaminated sediments and soils. In addition, it considers the concept of geochemical engineering for remediation of large areas contaminated by metals. A number of case studies of polluted sediments and soils and their environmental impact highlight the principles discussed in the first two sections.
