SORPTION OF INORGANIC MERCURY ON SOILS FROM ANKOBRA BASIN: MERCURY IN SOILS

This book is an excellent reference material that will help to understand the adsorption of mercury on soil from aqueous solution and for tracing the fate of mercury in the environment. The fate of mercury in soil is important not only to assess surface and groundwater quality, but also to understand mercury fluxes at the soil/air and water/air interfaces. The most important chemical retention mechanisms are sorption processes and precipitation. This book predicts the fate of mercury emitted from artisanal gold mining activities within the Ankobra basin.
