Reactive Transport in Porous Media (book)

Reactive transport in porous media refers to the process where chemicals move through materials like soil or rock, and simultaneously undergo chemical reactions. This occurs in natural settings such as groundwater systems or in engineered environments like reactors. It involves understanding how substances disperse, diffuse, or flow, and how they interact with the materials they encounter, leading to changes in composition or mineral structure. This field combines principles of fluid flow, chemistry, and geology to predict and manage processes like pollution spread, contaminant cleanup, or resource extraction in subsurface environments.
