Geochemistry GroundWater & pollution

By: Appelo, C A JContributor(s): Postma, DiekeMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Leiden ; New York : Balkema, ©2005Edition: 2nd EditionDescription: xviii, 649 pages : illustrations ; 25 cmISBN: 9780415364287; 0415364280Subject(s): Water chemistry | Groundwater -- Pollution | GroundwaterDDC classification: 551.9
Contents:
1. Introduction to groundwater geochemistry -- 2. From rainwater to groundwater -- 3. Flow and transport -- 4. Minerals and water -- 5. Carbonates and carbon dioxide -- 6. Ion exchange -- 7. Sorption of trace metals -- 8. Silicate weathering -- 9. Redox processes -- 10. Pollution by organic chemicals -- 11. Numerical modeling -- App. A. Hydrogeochemical modeling with Phreeqc.
Summary: Building on the success of its 1993 predecessor, this second edition of Geochemistry, Groundwater and Pollution has been thoroughly re-written, updated and extended to provide a complete and authoritative account of modern hydrogeochemistry. Offering a quantitative approach to the study of groundwater quality and the interaction of water, minerals, gases, pollutants and microbes, this book shows how physical and chemical theory can be applied to explain observed water qualities and variations over space and time. Integral to the presentation, geochemical modelling using PHREEQC code is demonstrated, with step-by-step instructions for calculating and simulating field and laboratory data. Numerous figures and tables illustrate the theory, while worked examples including calculations and theoretical explanations assist the reader in gaining a deeper understanding of the concepts involved. A crucial read for students of hydrogeology, geochemistry and civil engineering, professionals in the water sciences will also find inspiration in the practical examples and modeling templates.
