Features: This book takes chemical principles as the main thread, providing a comprehensive introduction to the basic theories of water chemistry and their practical application methods and examples. The book is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction, which mainly outlines the properties and characteristics of water. Chapter 2, Chemical Kinetics, and Chapter 3, Chemical Equilibrium, briefly introduce basic and practical content, such as empirical rate equations and equilibrium calculations. Chapter 4, Acid-Base Chemistry, discusses pH-pH diagrams, carbonate systems, and carbon balance. Chapter 5, Coordination Chemistry, covers metals, humic substances, and inorganic macromolecular flocculants. Chapter 6, Redox Chemistry, in addition to basic knowledge such as pH-pH diagrams, also includes sections on chlorine chemistry, iron chemistry, nitrogen chemistry, corrosion, and advanced oxidation technologies. Chapter 7, Interfacial Interactions, includes the dissolution and volatilization of gases, the precipitation and dissolution of solids, surface adsorption, sedimentation, and membrane chemistry. The book presents theories in an accessible manner with rich and vivid examples. It can serve as a selected textbook for graduate and undergraduate students in environmental science and engineering, as well as a reference for science and technology personnel, university teachers and students, and other readers in fields such as environmental protection, water treatment, water resources, water supply and drainage, marine science, water conservancy, and aquaculture.
