Aquatic Chemistry Concepts Second Edition is a fully revised and updated textbook that fills the need for a comprehensive treatment of aquatic chemistry and covers the many complicated equations and principles of aquatic chemistry. It presents the established science of equilibrium water chemistry using the uniquely recognizable step-by-step Pankow format which allows a broad and deep understanding of aquatic chemistry. The text is appropriate for a wide audience including undergraduate and graduate students industry professionals consultants and regulators. Every professional using water chemistry will want this text within close reach and students and professionals alike will expect to find at least one copy on their library shelves. Key Features Extremely thorough one-of-a-kind treatment of aquatic chemistry which considers: a) chemical thermodynamics fundamentals; b) acid/base titration and buffer calculations; c) CO2 chemistry and alkalinity; d) complexation of metal ions by ligands and chelates; e) mineral solubility processes; f) redox chemistry including the chemistry of chlorine (as in disinfection) oxygen CO2 and methane nitrogen sulfur iron and lead including the story of lead in the drinking water of Flint Michigan; and g) electrical effects in aqueous solutions including the Debye-Hückel Law (and related equations for activity corrections) double layers and colloid stability Discussions of how to carry out complex calculations regarding the chemistry of lakes rivers groundwater and seawater Numerous example problems worked in complete detail Special foreword by Jerry L. Schnoor There s a lot to like about a book on water chemistry that lays it out simply. Einstein said that everything should be as simple as it can be but not simpler. Wise advice. And that is what James F. Pankow has accomplished in the second edition of his textbook Aquatic Chemistry Concepts. It covers the waterfront of essential inorganic chemistry topics and it supplies enough examples to lead the student toward problem solving. -From the Foreword Jerry L. Schnoor
