Aquatic Chemistry: Chemical Equilibria and Rates in Natural Waters

The authoritative introduction to natural water chemistry THIRDEDITIONNow in its updated and expanded Third Edition, Aquatic Chemistryremains the classic resource on the essential concepts of naturalwater chemistry. Designed for both self-study and classroom use,this book builds a solid foundation in the general principles ofnatural water chemistry and then proceeds to a thorough treatmentof more advanced topics. Key principles are illustrated with a widerange of quantitative models, examples, and problem-solvingmethods.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
