Application of Chemical Principles to Evaluate Field Data

3 Application of Chemical Principles to Evaluate Field Data 

Examples were given earlier of a few systems for which the theoretical speciation of metals was calculated, and a few others in which it was analyzed experimentally, at least into some sub-groups if not specific species. These approaches have rarely been combined to evaluate data or hypotheses critically regarding metal transport through a real system. One study, already noted earlier in this chapter, can serve as a model for combining theoretical considerations with field data. In that study. Morel et al.
