Elements of Environmental Engineering: Thermodynamics and Kinetics, Second Edition

Completely revised and updated, Elements of Environmental Engineering: Thermodynamics and Kinetics, Second Edition covers the applications of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics in environmental processes. Each chapter has been rewritten and includes new examples that better illuminate the theories discussed. An excellent introduction to environmental engineering, this reference stands alone in its multimedia approach to fate and transport modeling and in pollution control design options. Clearly and lucidly written, it provides extensive tables, figures, and data that make it the reference to have on this subject.

...introduces the important concepts of free energy and chemical potential which are of paramount importance in dealing with equilibrium systems in environmental engineering...this is a very good book...an edition made much better by the increase in number of student problems and new examples of the theories discussed.
--Gary F. Bennett, in Journal of Hazardous Materials, Vol. 81 (1-2)
