Description for Geochemical Kinetics
Hardback. Explores geochemical kinetics - the application of chemical kinetics to geological problems. This book examines advanced theories developed by geochemists, such as nonisothermal kinetics and inverse theories, including geochronology (isotopic dating), thermochronology (temperature-time history), and geospeedometry (cooling rates). Num Pages: 664 pages, 5 halftones. 141 line illus. 26 tables. BIC Classification: PHH; PNRW; RBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 259 x 187 x 43. Weight in Grams: 1520.
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of geochemical kinetics--the application of chemical kinetics to geological problems, both theoretical and practical. Geochemical Kinetics balances the basic theories of chemical kinetics with a thorough examination of advanced theories developed by geochemists, such as nonisothermal kinetics and inverse theories, including geochronology (isotopic dating), thermochronology (temperature-time history), and geospeedometry (cooling rates). The first chapter provides an introduction and overview of the whole field at an elementary level, and the subsequent chapters develop theories and applications for homogeneous reactions, mass and heat transfer, heterogeneous reactions, and inverse problems. Most of the book's examples are from ... Read more

Reviews for Geochemical Kinetics
One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2009 "This is the most comprehensive, authoritative account of geochemical kinetics published to date. Writing in a remarkably accessible style, considering the complexity of the subject, Zhang, one of the leading experts in the field, covers every conceivable area of geochemical kinetics."
