| Summary |
This book provides students with the tools necessary to understand the processes that control the chemical species present in waters of both natural and engineered systems. After providing basic information about water itself and the chemical composition of water in environmental systems, the text coves the theory (thermodynamics, activity, and kinetics) and other background material necessary to solve chemical problems. The text emphasizes that both equilibrium and kinetic processes are important in aquatic systems. The content is focused not only on inorganic constituents, but also on the organic chemicals present in water. Quantitative equilibrium and kinetic problems related to acid-base chemistry, complexation, solubility, oxidation/reduction reactions, sorption, and the fate and reactions of organic chemicals are solved using mathematical, graphical, and computational tools. These concepts are extended to photochemistry, chlorine and disinfectants, geochemical controls on chemical composition, trace metals, nutrients, and natural organic matter. Numerous in-chapter examples are provided to show the application of theory and demonstrate how problems are solved using various techniques.
