Chemical Dissolution of Metal Oxides

By Miguel A Blesa Copyright 1994

    The dissolution behaviour of metal oxides has applications in many scientific fields, each with its own jargon and methodological approach. Any scientist interested in this subject should understand the literature from these various areas. This book describe different specialized treatments to surface-controlled metal oxide dissolution reactions and translates them into a unified picture based on surface complexion
