This unique resource - the first book of its kind available in the field - offers comprehensive coverage of the environmental behavior of detergent additives, focusing on physicochemical interactions with soil and sediments, and presents the current state of knowledge on recently introduced detergent additives, including zeolites, polycarboxylate compounds, ethylene dinitrilotetraacetic acid (EDTA), and nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA).
Written by leading international experts, Detergents in the Environment explains the importance of colloid and interface chemistry to the environment...introduces the physical chemical viewpoint into the assessment of environmental problems...discusses the influence of trace quantities of detergent ingredients on other pollutants...addresses synergetic and antagonistic interactions with different soil contaminants...reviews advances in analytical methods and new applications for the analysis of environmental samples...and much more.
With over 900 bibliographic citations, tables, drawings, and photographs, Detergents in the Environment is an incomparable reference for physical, surface, colloid, and analytical chemists and biochemists; surfactant and environmental scientists; toxicologists; research and development personnel in the detergent, petroleum, and cosmetic industries; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
