Book Description
The authoritative introduction to natural water chemistry THIRD EDITION
Now in its updated and expanded Third Edition, Aquatic Chemistry remains the classic resource on the essential concepts of natural water chemistry. Designed for both self-study and classroom use, this book builds a solid foundation in the general principles of natural water chemistry and then proceeds to a thorough treatment of more advanced topics. Key principles are illustrated with a wide range of quantitative models, examples, and problem-solving methods.
Major subjects covered include:
Chemical Thermodynamics
Solid-Solution Interface and Kinetics
Trace Metals
Acids and Bases
Kinetics of Redox Processes
Dissolved Carbon Dioxide
Photochemical Processes
Atmosphere-Water Interactions
Kinetics at the Solid-Water
Metal Ions in Aqueous Solution Interface
Precipitation and Dissolution
Particle-Particle Interaction
Oxidation and Reduction
Regulation of the Chemical
Equilibria and Microbial Mediation Composition of Natural Waters
