The enzyme concentration mE in a geochemical application is likely to represent in a general way the amount of biomass in the system. It is not common to attempt to determine values for k+ and mE separately instead, the product rmax of the two variables is generally reported, as was the case for Equation 17.16. As well, the...

Geological and geochemical applications of PXRF generally require multi-element analysis however, the more elements that are included within an analytical test, the greater the likelihood of problems such as peak overlaps or interferences, and manufacturers typically will provide machine calibrations for 20-30 elements in a particular analytical mode (see below). Our instruments have been calibrated for a range of elements for characterization of lithological units, different mineralization types and associated hydrothermal alteration, and other geochemical exploration vectors.

Figure 3.11 The decay series of U238, U235, and Th232. Not shown are several intermediate daughter products of little significance in geochemical applications. For the sake of completeness, old notations still referred to frequently in present-day texts, e.g., RaA for Po218, Io for Th230, are given in the scheme.

Despite these application limitations, it nevertheless is true that chemical equilibrium models can generally provide reasonable approximations of many, but not all, real-world chemical processes. The better we understand the biogeochemistry of natural systems, the better we can adapt our geochemical models for specific systems. One need only peruse standard geochemical textbooks (e.g., Nordstrom and Munoz 1994 Drever 1997 Millero 2001) to sense the importance of such models in geochemical applications. 

Of more immediate practical utility for geochemical application are moist-air solubilities, the c in eq. (4.1). Weiss (1970a, 1971a) parameterized c by... 

The major focus of the book is on mineral crystal structures that provide an ordered array of anions forming coordination polyhedra around the central cations. The thermodynamic data underlying many of the geochemical applications described in the first ten chapters are derived from energies of absorption bands in the optical spectra of minerals, which are most simply explained by crystal field theory. Use of experimentally determined energy level data rather than energy separations computed in molecular orbital diagrams is the emphasis of these early chapters.
