The processes described and their kinetics is of importance in the accumulation of trace metals by calcite in sediments and lakes (Delaney and Boyle, 1987) but also of relevance in the transport and retention of trace metals in calcareous aquifers. Fuller and Davis (1987) investigated the sorption by calcareous aquifer sand they found that after 24 hours the rate of Cd2+ sorption was constant and controlled by the rate of surface precipitation. Clean grains of primary minerals, e.g., quartz and alumino silicates, sorbed less Cd2+ than grains which had surface patches of secondary minerals, e.g., carbonates, iron and manganese oxides. Fig. 6.11 gives data (time sequence) on electron spin resonance spectra of Mn2+ on FeC03(s).

Claimed that he reduced magnesium and beryllium with great success by mixing the oxides with carbon, iron and linseed oil to a paste and melting in dosed crucible, obtaining alloys with iron. Stromeyer was mistaken. 

The true meaning of solution applies to uniform molecular or ionic mixtures of substances, either of which may be a solid, liquid, or gas. The material that is dissolved into the other is called a solute, the receiving substance is called a solvent (e.g., sugar is the solute and water the solvent in a sugar-water solution). Steel is an example of a solid-solid solution of carbon, iron, and other substances. The tendency of one substance to dissolve into another is called solubility. If one material does not form a solution with another it is insoluble, saturated solutions occur when the solvent can dissolve no more of... 

There are just over 100 different types of atom. Quite what I mean by type I shall explain in the next chapter when together we look inside them and identify their differing internal structures that render them distinct. Each different type of atom corresponds to a different element. Thus, just as there are the elements hydrogen, carbon, iron, and so on, so there are hydrogen atoms, carbon atoms, iron atoms, and so on, all the way up to the most recently discovered element, which in 2013 is the wholly useless and exceedingly short-lived 114th element, liver-morium. (To be precise it is element 116, but two that precede it await discovery.) The key idea in chemistry is that when one... 

The iron is used as such, or converted into steel by the addition of more carbon. Iron and steel are used to make everything, from cars and bridges to metal cans. Left alone in the environment it usually results (oxidizes) back to Fe203, but in a state of much higher entropy. Iron from ships and cars is effectively recycled by a melting process. Smaller articles are less likely to be recycled and their value as resources is reduced substantially by the high entropy factor. 

A small percentage of the universe s energy is stored inside stars (there are 4 x 10 ) in the form of gravity and hydrogen, which can fuse into helium, oxygen, carbon, iron, and people. That energy is available at tens of millions of degrees. It s really useful because it s so hot and thus has very little entropy. 

Matter is made up of very tiny units called atoms. Each different type of atom is the building block of a different chemical element. Presently, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) recognizes 118 elements, but four do not yet have names or symbols. The known elements range from common substances, such as carbon, iron, and silver, to uncommon ones, such as lutetium and thulium. About 90 of the elements can be obtained from natural sources. The remainder do not occur naturally and have been created only in laboratories. On the inside front cover you will find a complete listing of the elements and also a special tabular arrangement of the elements known as the periodic table. The periodic table is the chemist s directory of the elements. We will describe it in Chapter 2 and use it throughout most of the text.
