Surfactants and Colloids in the Environment [Paperback]

Surfactants and Colloids in the Environment presents the proceedings of the General Meeting of the German Colloid Society (Kolloid-Gesellschaft) held at the Research Center of J?lich (KFA), FRG, in 1993.
The volume emphasizes the importance of colloid chemistry in environmental research. Contributions on the physico-chemical behavior of colloids and surfaces in environmental technology demonstrate the high standard and usefulness of colloid science in this field: General colloid and environmental science complement each other. Thus, the detailed contributions in this volume will be useful toward solving some environmental problems.Surfactants and Colloids in the Environment presents the proceedings of the General Meeting of the German Colloid Society (Kolloid-Gesellschaft) held at the Research Center of J?lich (KFA), FRG, in 1993.
