Environmental Geochemistry of Sulfide Oxidation (Acs Symposium Series)

Provides an overview of recent research on the environmental effects of sulfide oxidation in geochemistry and related disciplines. Features new techniques, including scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, and evolved gas analysis. Describes kinetics of sulfide mineral dissolution, microbiological processes, solubility of secondary minerals, and effects on groundwater and surface-water systems. Presents advances in numerical modeling, prediction of acid generation, and remediation technology for mining wastes. Includes review of stable isotope (S, O) geochemistry in sulfate from acid mine drainage and acid rain environments
