The authoritative introduction to natural water chemistry THIRD EDITION 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 ThermodynamicsSolid-Solution Interface and KineticsTrace MetalsAcids and BasesKinetics of Redox ProcessesDissolved Carbon DioxidePhotochemical ProcessesAtmosphere-Water InteractionsKinetics at the Solid-WaterMetal Ions in Aqueous Solution InterfacePrecipitation and DissolutionParticle-Particle InteractionOxidation and ReductionRegulation of the ChemicalEquilibria and Microbial Mediation Composition of Natural Waters
