In the natural environment, there is a great need to quantitatively describe complex physicochemical systems and processes. By their very nature, environmental systems are prefect candidates for quantitative description using fractal dimensions. Indeed, fractal geometry is a powerful approach of the quantitative description of complex, highly irregular and random systems, the processes that lead to the formation of such disordered systems and the physical behaviour that results from such apparent disorder. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBiophysical Chemistry of Fractal Structures and Processes in Environmental Systems \u003c\/i\u003eaims to provide the scientific community with a novel and valuable approach based on fractal geometry concepts. A number of important properties and processes are examined in diverse environmental systems. For example, this volume examines how the fractal approach has been applied to better understand the structure and reactivity of flocs, sediments, soils, microorganism, and humic substances. the book will be of great use to scientists and engineers looking for the fundamental knowledge necessary to solve practical environmental problems. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTopics covered include: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introduction to the study of environmental fractals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFractal geometry, fragmentation processes and multifractal measures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethods and techniques for the fractal analysis of environmental systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFractal structures and mechanisms in coagulation\/flocculation processes in environmental systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFractal approaches to adsorption\/desorption processes on environmental surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe application of fractals in the study of humic materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFractal geometry and microorganisms in the environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFractal geometry of aerosol particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive volume is aimed at graduate students, scientists, researchers and professionals involved in fundamental and applied studies in environmental sciences, with emphasis on environmental analytical chemistry, biochemistry and physical chemistry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IUPAC Series on Analytical and Physical Chemistry of Environmental Systems provides the scientific community with a critical evaluation of important physicochemical structures and reactions in environmental systems, as well as the analytical techniques required to study them.
