Solid-Solution Interface: Its Role in Regulating the Chemical Composition of Natural Waters

  • Chapter
Transport Processes in Lakes and Oceans

Part of the book series: Marine Science ((MR,volume 7))

Abstract

The presence of suspended particles in natural waters can significantly affect the fate of most chemical constituents. Selective adsorption of chemical species onto suspended particles followed by differential coagulation of the suspended particulate signifies the importance of solid-solution interface in regulating the chemical composition of natural waters. The above interfacial reactions are governed by the intrinsic properties of the suspended particles, the nature of the solutes and the physical-chemical characteristics of the aquatic environment.
