Natural Water Remediation: Chemistry and Technology considers topics such as metal ion solubility controls, p H, carbonate equilibria, adsorption reactions, redox reactions and the kinetics of oxygenation reactions that occur in natural water environments. The book begins with the fundamentals of acid-base and redox chemistry to provide a better understanding of the natural system. Other sections cover the relationships among environmental factors and natural water (including biochemical factors, hydrologic cycles and sources of solutes in the atmosphere). Chemical thermodynamic models, as applied to natural water, are then discussed in detail. Final sections cover self-contained applications concerning composition, quality measurement and analyses for river, lake, reservoir and groundwater sampling. – Covers the fundamentals of acid-base and redox chemistry for environmental engineers- Focuses on the practical uses of water, soil mineral and bedrock chemistry and how they impact surface and groundwater- Includes applications concerning composition, quality measurement and analyses for river, lake, reservoir and groundwater sampling
