Aquatic Chemistry An Introduction Emphasizing Chemical Equilibria in Natural Waters Second Edition Edited by Werner Stumm and James J. Morgan This second edition of the renowned classic unites concepts, applications, and techniques with the growing amounts of data in the field. Expanded treatment is offered on steady-state and dynamic models employing mass-balance approaches and kinetic information. New chapters address such topics as: environmental aspects of aquatic chemistry; new material on organic compounds in natural water systems; the use of stable and radioactive isotopes in chemical...

This is a complete introduction to the concepts, applications and techniques of aquatic chemistry. It has been revised and updated to focus upon pollution and its control, as well as the processes affecting the circulation of chemical substances in water.

This volume presents researchers and students in the fields of geochemistry, oceanography, soil science and the environmental sciences with an introduction to the chemistry of the solid-water interface. It stresses principles and demonstrates how they can be applied.

This comprehensive contributed volume presents an account of current research and applications of chemical processes occurring at the interfaces of water with naturally occurring solids. Interactions of solutes with the solid surfaces are looked at from a mechanistic and dynamic point of view rather than a descriptive one. Processes discussed and concepts presented are applicable to all natural waters (oceans and fresh waters as well as soil and sediment water systems) and to the surfaces of natural solids such as minerals, soils, sediments, biota, and humus. Chapters progress from...

Dieses Buch ist aus Vorlesungen hervorgegangen, die fur Stu denten der Abteilungen fur Bau- und Kulturingenieure und des Nachdiplomstudiums in "Gewasserschutz und Wassertechnologie" ausgearbeitet wurden. Ausgewahlte Kapitel sind auch im Unterri cht an oberen Kl assen des Gymnas i ums verwendet worden. Dementsprechend haben si ch di e Autoren bemuht, das Lehrbuch so zu schrei ben, dass es auch von Studenten ohne umfangrei che naturwi ssens.chaftl i che Vorbi 1 dung verstanden werden kann. Ferner ri chtet sich das Buch auch an reifere Mittelschuler, aber auch an Praktiker in Umwelt- und Ge...
