Publisher Summary The importance of trace elements (TEs) in soils depends largely on their
fraction that has immediate biological function, that is, the fraction of the total soil burden that …

Recent developments in the quantitative modeling of methane dynamics and anaerobic
oxidation of methane (AOM) in marine sediments are critically reviewed. The first part of the …

The six years that have passed since the publication of the first edition have brought
significant advances in both biofilm research and biofilm engineering, which have matured …

The paper introduces HYTEC, a coupled reactive transport code currently used for
groundwater pollution studies, safety assessment of nuclear waste disposals, geochemical …

This paper deals with the treatment of subsurface environments as reactive biogeochemical
transport systems. We begin with an overview of the effects of microbial activity on the …

The reduction kinetics of Fe (III) citrate, Fe (III) NTA, Co (III) EDTA−, U (VI) O22+, Cr (VI)
O42−, and Tc (VII) O4− were studied in cultures of dissimilatory metal reducing bacteria …

Geochemical modeling is a powerful tool for characterizing environmental site
contaminations and predicting environmental impacts. This book discusses the application …

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are becoming increasingly popular worldwide for removing
organic matter (OM), nutrients, trace elements, pathogens, or other pollutants from …

The kinetics of dissimilatory reduction of goethite (α-FeOOH) was studied in batch cultures of
a groundwater bacterium, Shewanella putrefaciens, strain CN32 in pH 7 bicarbonate buffer …

Subsurface contamination by organic chemicals is a pervasive environmental problem,
susceptible to remediation by natural or enhanced attenuation approaches or more highly …
