Abstract

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
