Key Concepts in Environmental Chemistry provides a modern and
concise introduction to environmental chemistry principles and the
dynamic nature of environmental systems. It offers an intense,
one-semester examination of selected concepts encountered in this
field of study and provides integrated tools in explaining complex
chemical problems of environmental importance. Principles typically
covered in more comprehensive textbooks are well integrated into
general chapter topics and application areas. The goal of this
textbook is to provide students with a valuable resource for
learning the basic concepts of environmental chemistry from an easy
to follow, condensed, application and inquiry-based perspective.
Additional statistical, sampling, modeling and data analysis
concepts and exercises will be introduced for greater understanding
of the underlying processes of complex environmental systems and
fundamental chemical principles. Each chapter will have
problem-oriented exercises (with examples throughout the body of
the chapter) that stress the important concepts covered and
research applications/case studies from experts in the field.
Research applications will be directly tied to theoretical concepts
covered in the chapter. Overall, this text provides a condensed and
integrated tool for student learning and covers key concepts in the
rapidly developing field of environmental chemistry.
Covering more than 7,800 organic and inorganic chemicals and
hydrocarbons, Transport Properties of Chemical and Hydrocarbons,
Second Edition is an essential volume for any chemist or chemical
engineer. Spanning gases, liquids, and solids, the book covers all
critical properties (including viscosity, thermal conductivity, and
diffusion coefficient). From C1 to C100 organics and Ac to Zr
inorganics, the data in this handbook is a perfect quick reference
for field, lab, or classroom use. By collecting a massive - but
relevant - amount of information in one source, the handbook
enables engineers to spend more time developing new designs and
processes, and less time collecting vital properties data. This is
not a theoretical treatise, but an aid to the practicing engineer
in the field, on day-to-day operations and long-range projects.
