Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Mineral-water reactions are widely occurring in natural environment and playing important roles in various processes, such as the weathering and erosion, soil development, generation of resources, and the formation of river water, groundwater, seawater compositions. The objective of this course is to understand the basic concepts of mineral-water reactions and mass transport. |
