Aquatic Chemistry Concepts, Second Edition

by James F. Pankow

Overview

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.'

About the Author

James F. Pankow earned a BA in chemistry at the State University of New York at Binghamton in 1973, training in the laboratory of Dr. Gilbert E. Janauer. He earned a PhD in environmental engineering science at the California Institute of Technology in 1979, training in the laboratory of Dr. James J. Morgan (1966–1974, Editor-in-Chief, Environmental Science and Technology; 1999, Clarke Water Prize; 1999, Stockholm Water Prize). Dr. Pankow’s awards include the John Wesley Powell (U.S. Geological Survey) National Citizen Achievement Award (1993), the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Advances in Environmental Science and Technology (1999), and the Haagen-Smit Prize (2005). He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2009.
