内容説明

This text/reference fills a void that exists in most environmental engineering curricula by providing students with a sound knowledge of chemical thermodynamics and reaction kinetics - the fundamental principles of environmental engineering. Unlike other texts, it brings together the components of air, water, soil/sediment, and biota and the exchange and transformations that occur in and between them. Elements of Environmental Engineering is an ideal textbook for senior undergraduates in environmental engineering. It introduces students to thermodynamics and kinetics and lays the foundation for more advanced courses in fate and transport modeling and waste treatment/elimination. The book also serves as an excellent reference for researchers and professionals in civil, chemical, and environmental engineering, as well as environmental chemists, toxicologists, and regulators who need to estimate parameters of various chemicals.
