Book
The physical chemistry of natural waters
An in-depth discussion of the thermodynamics and kinetics ofnatural waters. Divided into three major parts-structure of matter, chemicalthermodynamics, and chemical kinetics- physical chemistry isconcerned with the measurement, description, and prediction of thecharacteristics of chemical systems and their interaction with eachother with respect to the transfer of mass and energy. PhysicalChemistry of Natural Waters explores how the basic concepts ofphysical chemistry can be used to understand the chemistry ofnatural waters, with most of the text confined to chemicalthermodynamics and kinetics.
The extensive material in this book is the result of a course inmarine physical chemistry that the author has taught over the pastdecade. Dr. Millero incorporates his own personal interest insolution physical chemistry and his approach to understanding thephysical chemistry of seawater with the text's vast coverage of thephysical chemistry of liquid phases. In addition, detailed reviewsof the basics of thermodynamics and kinetics provide acomprehensive overview for a clearer understanding of the topicscovered.
Environmental and physical chemists conducting research on water,seawater, rivers, lakes, and groundwater as well as graduatestudents studying environmental chemistry will find PhysicalChemistry of Natural Waters a solid foundation on the subject ofthe physical chemistry of natural waters. -- Amazon
