Enables readers to apply core principles of environmental engineering to analyze environmental systemsEnvironmental Process Analysis takes a unique approach, applying mathematical and numerical process modeling within the context of both natural and engineered environmental systems. Readers master core principles of natural and engineering science such as chemical equilibria, reaction kinetics, ideal and non-ideal reactor theory, and mass accounting by performing practical real-world analyses. As they progress through the text, readers will have the opportunity to analyze a broad range of environmental processes and systems, including water and wastewater treatment, surface mining, agriculture, landfills, subsurface saturated and unsaturated porous media, aqueous and marine sediments, surface waters, and atmospheric moisture. The text begins with an examination of water, core definitions, and a review of important chemical principles. It then progressively builds upon this base with applications of Henry's law, acid/base equilibria, and reactions in ideal reactors. Finally, the text addresses reactions in non-ideal reactors and advanced applications of acid/base equilibria, complexation and solubility/dissolution equilibria, and oxidation/reduction equilibria. Several tools are provided to fully engage readers in mastering new concepts and then applying them in practice, including: Detailed examples that demonstrate the application of concepts and principlesProblems at the end of each chapter challenging readers to apply their newfound knowledge to analyze environmental processes and systemsMathCAD worksheets that provide a powerful platform for constructing process modelsEnvironmental Process Analysis serves as a bridge between introductory environmental engineering textbooks and hands-on environmental engineering practice. By learning how to mathematically and numerically model environmental processes and systems, readers will also come to better understand the underlying connections among the various models, concepts, and systems.Content: Chapter 1 Introductory Remarks (pages 1–10): Chapter 2 Water (pages 11–15): Chapter 3 Concentration Units for Gases, Liquids, and Solids (pages 16–35): Chapter 4 The Law of Mass Action and Chemical Equilibria (pages 36–43): Chapter 5 Air/Water Distribution (pages 44–63): Chapter 6 Acid/Base Component Distributions (pages 64–118): Chapter 7 Mass Balance, Ideal Reactors, and Mixing (pages 119–156): Chapter 8 Reactions in Ideal Reactors (pages 157–264): Chapter 9 Reactions in Nonideal Reactors (pages 265–334): Chapter 10 Acid‐Base Advanced Principles (pages 335–438): Chapter 11 Metal Complexation and Solubility (pages 439–518): Chapter 12 Oxidation and Reduction (pages 519–570):
