Ion-Transfer Kinetics

The book introduces the reader to the principles of ion-transfer kinetics based on an assumed knowledge of calculus, electrostatics, and thermodynamics. These principles are presented in a simply way and their generality is abundantly illustrated with real examples. The book also supplies sufficient instruction in experimental methodology to allow the reader to study the principles of ion- transfer kinetics experimentally. The principles are so well developed mathematically that the reader can even write computer programs to simulate the ion-transfer properties of hypothetical materials incorporated into equally hypothetical products. Finally, the book is so extensive referenced that the reader can easily extend his knowledge into the finer details of the subject.Der Leser wird durch dieses Buches in die Grundsätze der Kinetik des Ionen-Transfers eingeführt, die auf dem Wissen über Infinitesimalrechnung, Elektrostatik und Thermodynamik basieren.

Das vielseitige Spezialthema ist allgemein für ganz
unterschiedliche Fachgebiete wie Festkörperphysik, Photographie, Elektrochemie, Medizin und Biologie interessant. Spezielle Anwendungsmöglichkeiten dieser Theorie finden sich bei der Auseinandersetzung mit Energieumwandlung, Membranen oder Oberflächenbeschaffenheit. Gerade durch illustrierte Beispiele und ausführlich erläuterte Rechnungen bietet das Werk einen sehr zugänglichen Zugriff auf das Thema. Ergänzt wird es durch reichhaltige Hinweise auf weiterführende Literatur und Anregungen, eigenständig Experimente durchführen zu können. From the Contents:

J. R. Sandifer is the author of Ion-Transfer Kinetics, published by Wiley. Ion-Transfer Kinetics Principles and Applications Edited by James R. Sandifer The goal of this book is to give the reader an understanding of the fundamental principles of electrostatics and thermodynamics as they apply to the kinetics of ion transfer between phases and ion transport within phases. A grasp of these principles leads to a conceptual understanding of the unity that spans the diverse fields and applications of ion-transfer kinetics, which range from solid-state physics and photography to electrochemistry and biology. Ion-Transfer Kinetics begins with a theoretical treatment of ion transfer across liquid-liquid interfaces. Subsequent chapters extend the fundamental electrostatic and thermodynamic principles further, with in-depth discussion of systems involving thicker membranes, ion exchangers, thin lipid bilayer membranes, ion-selective membranes, and photographic emulsions. In the concluding chapter, some simple computer simulation techniques are used to demonstrate the principles of ion transfer in diverse systems that range from membranes to semiconductors. Written by an outstanding group of authors, Ion-Transfer Kinetics will be an important resource for physical chemists, electrochemists, biological chemists, and chemical engineers in academia and industry who seek a better understanding of the principles underlying biological, electrochemical, and interfacial processes.
