GEOL 5420 - Surf & Interfaces

Institution:

University of Wyoming

Subject:

GEOL

Description:

Examines the role of surfaces and solid-solution interfaces in regulating the chemistry of the Earth's surface. Subjects to be covered includes surface tension, capillarity, and the thermodynamics of surfaces; the equilibrium and kinetic chemistry of absorption-desorption; dissolution-precipitation kinetics and controlling factors; surface catalysis; and surface oxidation-reduction reactions. Presented in the context of geochemically and environmentally important processes such as chemical weathering, partitioning of solutes between water and surfaces, and the transport and degradation of pollutants. Prerequisite: one of the following: GEOL 4490, 4777, 5777, or CHEM 3500, 4505.
