3.0 out of 5 stars
A complex book, not recommened for beginners in water chem.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Water Chemistry (Paperback)
This book includes the properties of water, introduction to and application of thermodynamics and kinetics, acid-base chemistry, complexation chemistry, precipitation and dissolution, and redox chemistry in water. The book is not recommended for an undergraduate level, it is hard to follow for a beginner. It is fairly old, published 1980, so it doesn't have current topics in environmental water chemistry, but it does cover the basics which are important to know. The problems at the end of each chapter are fairly difficult.

Definately the Best,
By VM (Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Water Chemistry (Paperback)
I used this book as an alternate text for a graduate level course in chemical hydrogeology. This was by far the best textbook I used. The class text and most others that I used were qualitative texts. This book presents a quantitative approach to equilibrium chemistry. This definately helped clear up several topics and is full of plenty of examples. At the end of the chapters there are suggestions for additional reading and many practice problems. The authors present cchemical kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base reactions, coordination chemistry, precipitation and dissolution, and redox reactions. This book is definately helpful as it goes through many problems step-by-step and is very instructive.

5.0 out of 5 stars
It is a must in a graduate class for environmental engineers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Water Chemistry (Paperback)
While the level of difficulty compared to other class textbooks is higher, it provides a real world examples of problems environmental engineers find in their field. This book will suit better as a reference book for undergraduate and a textbook for graduate students, it goes beyond the classic theoretical solutions. One of the authors is a professor in a very good university in California. You may find this fact very important because many of the theories, formulas and conclusions that are being used in the industry are contained in this book, and have been derived from doctoral work by Ph.D. candidates at that University. You may want to keep this book as a reference after you have finished your graduate school. Every environmental engineer or scientists must have a copy of this book. Believe me! We used this book at the LMU Graduate Program.
