Books by H. Magdi (Louisiana State University Selim

This book provides the fundamentals for the understanding of reactive chemicals retention and their transport in soils and aquifers. The book offers the first comprehensive treatment with supporting examples of mathematical models that describe contaminants reactivity and transport in soils and aquifers. It is also a practical guide for designing experiments and collecting data that focuses on characterizing retention as well as release kinetic reactions in soils and contaminant transport experiments in the laboratory, greenhouse (column) and in the field.

The fate of heavy metals in the environment is important as they tend to remain reactive, mobile and toxic. This work examines the reactions that occur between metals and the soil they occupy. It discusses the kinetic concepts and the predictability and consequences of metal-soil interactions.
