Thus of the original additions of Fluometruron and Aldoxycarb to soil (namely lmg kg-1) at the end of the first month some 60% (0.6mg kg-1) of Fluometruron and 87% (0.87mg kg-1) of the more water soluble Aldoxycarb are eluted from the soil by rainwater. At the end of the second... 

Robenidine, which was the major component in the excreta, represented about 10% of the extractable radioactivity in the soil. In terms of total carbon-14 residues in the soil, parent compound represented 2.0%. Metabolite 2, which was present only in trace quantities in the excreta, accounted for 21% of the extractable radioactivity or 4.2% of the total carbon-14 residues in the soil. This metabolite was also the only significant compound found in the water. Three other metabolites accounted for about 18% of the extractable radioactivity in the soil, namely, Metabolite 3, 5.3%, Metabolite 6, 7.6% and Metabolite 10, 4.9%. Polar material which was not resolved from the origin represented 25% of the extractable radioactivity in the soil. 

The book consists of four chapters. The first one deals with the individual components of the studied systems the solid, the solution, and the interface. Solid means rocks and soils, namely, the main mineral and other solid components. In order that the solid/liquid interactions become possible, these must be located in the Earth s crust where groundwater is present. The liquid phase refers to soil solutions and groundwater, and also any solutions that are part of laboratory experiments studying interfacial properties with the objective of understanding the principles behind the reactions. In Chapter 1, the characteristics and thermodynamics of the... 

Clay Colloids. Three clay minerals are important components of the clay colloid fraction of soils, namely, montmorillonite, illite, and kaolinite (Adams, 1973). Mont-morillonite consists of one layer of aluminum oxide between two layers of silicon oxide (Figure 11.2). An important feature of this mineral is its multilayer arrangement, which permits smaller molecules such as pesticides to penetrate between them. This is referred to as an "expanding lattice" clay. Illite is also a three-layer clay but it does not form multilayers. Kaolinite is a two-layer mineral of aluminum oxide and silicon oxide. 

From a quantitative point of view, the global PAH concentration can be estimated with the use of PAH index previously defined in Chapter 4. The value of the ratio 254 nm 288 nm gives information on the distribution of PAH in the contaminated soils, namely that as higher is this ratio, and higher is the proportion of light PAHs. Table 7 collects the data related to the two studied contaminated soils. 

Three different extractants were discussed for the feasibility study on calcareous soil, namely EDTA, DTPA and mixed acid ammonium acetate/EDTA.

Grim (1952) distinguished two modes of swelling in clay soils, namely, intercrystalline and Intracrystalline swelling. Intercrystalline swelling takes place when the uptake of moisture is restricted to the external crystal surfaces and the void spaces between the crystals. Intracrystalline swelling, on the other hand, is characteristic of the smectite family of clay...

For the normally expected rate of most static loadings, in situ deposits of coarse-grained soils, namely, sand, gravel, and so on, with little or no fine content, in particular clay fraction, can be considered as free draining soils when subjected to additional stresses due to static loading. Most, if not all, of the footing settlement in this type of soil can be expected to occur immediately after the load application. Thus, for all practical purposes, the total footing settlement in this type of soil may be taken as equal to the immediate or elastic settlement evaluated based on Equation 8.36. 

In designing nuclear facilities which are partly or wholly below grade, provision shall be made for the lateral pressure of adjacent soil, namely active pressure and at-rest pressure. The effect of dynamic pressure due to earthquake also should be given consideration. Due allowance shall be made for possible surcharge from fixed or moving loads. When a portion or the whole of the adjacent soil is below a free-water surface, computations shall be based on the weight of the soil diminished by buoyancy plus hydrostatic pressure. In the design of slabs... 

The former starting point is a typical requirement of standardisation, which aims at unifying methods. The latter is a social need, because it is based on the requirements set by the different stakeholders involved in the use of biodegradable plastics in soil, namely the farmers, the public authority and public opinion.
