From the Back Cover

The book explores the basic principles, concepts and applications of geochemistry.

Geochemistry is a field of study that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms in geologic environments, and often focuses on determining processes that control the abundance and composition of minerals and their distribution in the earth’s crust. Geochemistry also plays a vital role in environmental soil and water systems in identifying and modulating environmental problems, and in studying the composition, structure and processes of the earth. Therefore, this book helps in understanding the chemical composition of the earth and its applications. It explores the basic principles, concepts and applications of geochemistry and discusses its beneficial effects, bottlenecks, solutions, and future directions. In addition to case studies, topics such as chemical weathering, impacts on living beings and water, geochemical cycles, oxidation and redox reactions in geochemistry, isotopes, analytical techniques, medicinal, inorganic, marine, atmospheric, and environmental applications are presented.

Audience

This book will be very helpful for geochemists, environmental scientists, chemists, engineers, R&D professionals, as well as graduate students who are working in earth sciences, environmental chemistry and industrial technologies.
