tailieunhanh - INTERFACIAL APPLICATIONS IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

The contents of this book are based loosely on presentations at a special symposium, “Application of Interface Science to Environmental Pollution Control,” held as part of the ACS National Meeting in Chicago, August 26–30, 2001. This symposium offered an opportunity for researchers from a range of disciplines to discuss the role of interface science in environmental remediation. The development of an archival book based on this meeting is a timely contribution to a burgeoning area of research that is now attracting the attention of a diverse research community. The topics covered include fundamental studies of general interest and/or overviews of strategies for pollution abatement—in short, any research that can. | .INTERFACIAL . appl1Cations_in En_V RONMENTAl engineering edited by Mark University of Kentucky Lexington Kentucky .
