James Sangster is the editor of Chemicals in the Atmosphere: Solubility, Sources and Reactivity , published by Wiley. Klappentext The behaviour and hence the possible impact of trace gases and solids in the atmosphere is now of major concern amongst scientists. This book is a result of discussions between members of the IUPAC Commission on Solubility Data and the IUPAC Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry extending over several years.The book provides a broad survey and theoretical basis of many aspects of the behaviour of stable and unstable chemicals in the atmosphere. There is special emphasis on heterogeneous processes at all levels of the atmosphere. Modern techniques of investigation and of modelling such processes are discussed and many experimental data relating to interaction of gases with cloud droplets and with surfaces of solid particles are included. A detailed account of theoretical and practical aspects of Henry's law constants, including their relationship to infinite dilution activity coefficients, is also presented. Experimental values of 15 inorganic and 153 organic stable compounds have been compiled and evaluated for dissolution in pure water and, in some cases, seawater.This volume will be of interest to chemists and environmental scientists, as well as geochemists and others involved in atmospheric modelling. Researchers associated with aerosol and air quality studies, as well as pollution issues, will also find it of interest. The sections on Henry's law constants will be of particular benefit to chemical engineers. Zusammenfassung Auf vielen Gebieten der Umweltforschung, beispielsweise bei der Verfolgung von Luft- und Wasserschadstoffen, kommt man ohne möglichst exakte Löslichkeitsdaten für eine Vielzahl von Verbindungen nicht aus. In diesem Handbuch werden Sie fündig! Neben einer Fülle von Datenmaterial enthält der Band auch theoretische Modelle zur Interpretation und Vorhersage von Löslichkeiten. Verschiedene Verfahren zur Datensammlung werden verglichen, so dass Ihnen die Auswahl einer für Ihre Zwecke geeigneten Methode leichter fällt.
