Enables readers to apply core principles of environmentalengineering to analyze environmental systems
Environmental Process Analysis takes a unique approach,applying mathematical and numerical process modeling within thecontext of both natural and engineered environmental systems.Readers master core principles of natural and engineering sciencesuch as chemical equilibria, reaction kinetics, ideal and non-idealreactor theory, and mass accounting by performing practicalreal-world analyses. As they progress through the text, readerswill have the opportunity to analyze a broad range of environmentalprocesses and systems, including water and wastewater treatment,surface mining, agriculture, landfills, subsurface saturated andunsaturated porous media, aqueous and marine sediments, surfacewaters, and atmospheric moisture.
The text begins with an examination of water, core definitions,and a review of important chemical principles. It thenprogressively builds upon this base with applications of Henry'slaw, acid/base equilibria, and reactions in ideal reactors.Finally, the text addresses reactions in non-ideal reactors andadvanced applications of acid/base equilibria, complexation andsolubility/dissolution equilibria, and oxidation/reductionequilibria.
Several tools are provided to fully engage readers in masteringnew concepts and then applying them in practice, including:
* Detailed examples that demonstrate the application of conceptsand principles
* Problems at the end of each chapter challenging readers toapply their newfound knowledge to analyze environmental processesand systems
* MathCAD worksheets that provide a powerful platform forconstructing process models
Environmental Process Analysis serves as a bridge betweenintroductory environmental engineering textbooks and hands-onenvironmental engineering practice. By learning how tomathematically and numerically model environmental processes andsystems, readers will also come to better understand the underlyingconnections among the various models, concepts, and systems.
