Abstract
Surface adsorption and diffusion play an important role in a number of geologic processes. The rate of crystal nucleation and growth from a molten liquid, in addition to the general morphology of the crystals are controlled to a great extent by surface mobility. Hydrologic processes such as concentration depletion during aquifer migration are extremely adsorption dependent. There are also a great number of practical applications involving the use of surface active agents to enhance natural processes. These applications include; enhanced petroleum recovery, mineral separation and a variety of others which will be discussed later in more detail.
