The definitive text for water chemistry professionals and students worldwide. Principles and Applications of Aquatic Chemistry provides a solid foundation for understanding the chemistry of lakes, oceans, rivers, estuaries, and other natural waters. Acclaimed for its user-friendly pedagogy, this classic textbook explains aquatic chemistry through the powerful application of the “tableau system,” which provides a systematic way to organize complex chemical equilibrium problems. Now in its second edition, this title contains an entirely new introductory chapter and new coverage of ocean acidification, advances in dissolution kinetics, bioavailability of trace metals, redox kinetics, and updated thermodynamic data. The use of computer programs to calculate chemical equilibrium in natural waters is illustrated. Throughout this edition, revised and streamlined material is supported by new real-world examples and full-color illustrations. Accessible to those with diverse backgrounds in the sciences and engineering, this essential textbook Covers the fundamentals of aquatic science, including chemical thermodynamics, acid-base, precipitation-dissolution, coordination, reduction-oxidation and adsorption reactions Explains the use of equilibrium calculations, essential tools for understanding the chemical composition of aquatic systems and the fate of inorganic pollutants Provides quantitative treatments of the kinetics of chemical reactions in natural waters Features new and updated content that reflects advances in understanding the chemistry of natural waters Includes new end-of-chapter questions of various levels of difficulty and a solutions manual This comprehensive guide remains the perfect textbook for advanced students in chemistry, environmental science and engineering, marine science, geochemistry, oceanography, geology, fisheries, forestry, and environmental policy and management. It is also a valuable reference text for industry professionals, academic researchers, policymakers, and college and university instructors in relevant fields.
