About this ebook
The second edition of Water Chemistry: The Chemical Processes and Composition of Natural and Engineered Aquatic Systems (2022) by Patrick L. Brezonik and William A. Arnold follows an intuitive flow structured into a prologue and four main parts. [1, 2]
The textbook balances both chemical equilibrium and kinetic processes to solve quantitative problems using algebraic, graphical, and modern computer-based techniques. [1, 2]
📘 Part I: Theory and Fundamental Principles
-
- Introduction to Water Chemistry: Basic physical and chemical properties of water, concentration units, unit conversions, and fundamental aspects of chemical reactions. [1, 2]
- Chemical Composition of Natural Waters: Geochemical controls on inorganic ions, water quality significance, and both natural and anthropogenic sources of solutes. [1]
- Thermodynamics & Activity: The foundations of chemical equilibria and activity-concentration relationships. [1]
- Chemical Kinetics: Principles governing reaction rates and mechanisms in aquatic environments. [1]
- Organic Chemistry Fundamentals: Structure, nomenclature, and chemical behavior of organic compounds relevant to environmental systems. [1]
⚖️ Part II: Chemical Equilibria and Kinetics
-
- Acid-Base Chemistry: Equilibria of weak acids and bases, pH scaling, and buffering capacity in natural systems.
- Coordination Chemistry & Metal Ion Complexation: Interactions of dissolved metal ions with organic and inorganic ligands.
- Solubility of Minerals: Precipitation and dissolution processes of solids and minerals in water.
- Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions: Electron transfer processes and their role in chemical transformations. [1, 2, 3]
🌊 Part III: Chemistry of Natural Waters and Engineered Systems
-
- Dissolved Oxygen: Transport, chemistry, and dynamics of oxygen in aquatic ecosystems.
- Nutrient Cycles: The specific environmental chemistry and cycling of nitrogen and phosphorus.
- Minor Elements & Trace Metals: Aquatic geochemistry of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), aluminum (Al), silica, and silicates.
- Natural Organic Matter (NOM): The characterization, distribution, and reactivity of naturally occurring organic materials.
- Sorption and Surface Chemistry: Interfacial physical-chemical processes describing how solutes interact with, stick to, and release from solid particles.
- Photochemistry: Fundamental principles of aquatic photochemistry and how light drives chemical processes in natural waters.
- Disinfectants and Oxidants: The chemistry of chlorine and alternative chemical treatments in engineered systems.
- Organic Contaminants: The fate, persistence, and chemical reactions of anthropogenic organic pollutants. [1, 2, 3, 4]
⚠️ Part IV: Emerging Contaminants
- Modern Environmental Issues: This specialized section addresses modern and climate-driven challenges, including microplastics, PFAS ("forever chemicals"), and the broad impacts of climate change on aquatic chemistry. [1]
