Featuring a practical, unified approach to surface chemical bonding, this book provides the essential concepts, equations, limitations, and parametric values needed to deal with any surface bonding situation that the reader might encounter. It presents various ways of identifying, measuring, and evaluating the parameters of surface complexation models and explores the influence of these parameters on the precision of surface complexation calculations. The text compares the limitations, compromises, and advantages of surface complexation models versus the semi-empirical models. These insights assist in developing decision-making tools for interfacial situations.
