This volume provides a thorough overview on the fundamental and applied aspects of the recent developments and advances in the area of alkali metal adsorption on metals and semiconductors. Effects such as surface reconstruction, ordered phases, electronic transitions and surface diffusion are discussed. Coadsorption of alkali metals and molecules on metal surfaces is examined in terms of particle interactions and surface reactivity. Special attention is given to the relationship between coadsorption-studies and heterogeneous catalysis. Other topics reviewed include the study of matrix-isolated alkali metal-molecule complexes and the alkali metal-enhanced surface reactivity of semiconductors. Written by a team of international experts, the work will provide both a stimulus for future research in this field, as well as useful reference material for many years to come.

Extractions of Metals from Soils and Waters represents a new emphasis in the series Modern Inorganic Chemistry, namely the impact inorganic chemistry can have on the environment. Also, this is the first volume ever to introduce the reader to all aspects of heavy metal extraction. While the primary emphasis is on complexation chemistry, attention is also paid to phase transfer aspects. Particular methods of note include electrokinetics, phytoremediation, and sensors. Aimed primarily at chemists, this book will also appeal to engineers, plant biochemists, environmental health specialists, and practitioners or students of environmental law.
