Equilibrium inorganic chemistry underlies the composition and
properties of the aquatic environment and provides a sound basis for
understanding both natural geochemical processes and the behaviour of
inorganic pollutants in the environment. Designed for readers having
basic chemical and mathematical knowledge, this book includes material
and examples suitable for undergraduate students in the early stages
of chemistry, environmental science, geology, irrigation science and
oceanography courses. Aquatic Environmental Chemistry covers the
composition and underlying properties of both freshwater and marine
systems and, within this framework, explains the effects of acidity,
complexation, oxidation and reduction processes, and sedimentation.
The format adopted for the book consists of two parallel columns. The
inner column is the main body of the book and can be read on its own.
The outer column is a source of useful secondary material where
comments on the main text, explanations of unusual terms and guidance
through mathematical steps are to be found. A wide range of examples
to explain the behaviour of inorganic species in freshwater and marine
systems are used throughout, making this clear and progressive text an
invaluable introduction to equilibrium chemistry in solution.
