The Aqueous Chemistry of Polonium and the Practical Application of its Thermochemistry

To be able to predict the behavior of polonium and develop effective methods for its removal or control, it is necessary to acquire an understanding of its aqueous speciation and thermochemistry. The Aqueous Chemistry of Polonium and the Practical Application of its Thermochemistry helps readers gain such knowledge, providing a thermochemical database and derived pH-potential diagrams to help give a better understanding of polonium behavior. Beginning with an introduction to Polonium and its physical and chemical properties, it goes on to provide a detailed overview of its chemical thermodynamics. The pH-Potential Diagrams for Polonium and information on their use in practical applications follows, supported by a detailed set of case studies. Drawing on the knowledge of its expert authors The Aqueous Chemistry of Polonium and the Practical Application of its Thermochemistry provides key insight for those working with polonium across a range of different fields, from mining industry professionals and analytical chemists to environmental remediation scientists.
