Abstract

A majority of the chemical reactions generally associated with clay minerals, metal oxides, and other soil-related minerals occur at the interfaces between the minerals and their surroundings. Two of these interfaces occur at the gas/solid, and liquid/solid reaction sites with the common component being the solid mineral surface. Few reactions related to soil environments involve chemical reactions generated at atom sites in a mineral’s bulk. Therefore, much useful chemical insight can be achieved by examining the chemistry of atoms and reaction products associated with the surface region of these minerals.
