Water chemistry : an introduction to the chemistry of natural and engineered aquatic systems /
by Patrick L. Brezonik and William A. Arnold.
- 1 online resource (xxiv, 782 pages) : illustrations (some color), plates
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Water Chemistry 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 covers the necessary theory (thermodynamics, activity, and kinetics) and background material to solve problems. It emphasizes that both equilibrium and kinetic processes are important in aquatic systems. The book does not merely focus on inorganic constituents, but also on the fate and reaction.
