About Chemical Fate and Transport in the...
Chemical Fate and Transport in the Environment by Harold F. Hemond is a comprehensive textbook that provides a quantitative framework for understanding how chemicals behave in natural systems. It systematically covers the fundamental processes governing contaminant movement—advection, diffusion, dispersion, sorption, and transformation—across air, water, and soil environments. The book emphasizes mass balance principles and develops mathematical models to predict the fate of pollutants. With worked examples and problem sets, it bridges theory and practical application, making it suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental engineering, hydrology, and environmental chemistry. This used copy is in very good condition, but may not include supplemental items such as CDs or access codes.
Who should read Chemical Fate and Transport in the...?
This textbook is essential for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in environmental engineering, environmental science, hydrology, and chemical engineering. It also serves as a valuable reference for professionals and researchers involved in contaminant transport modeling, risk assessment, and environmental remediation. Instructors will find it a solid foundation for courses on pollutant fate and transport. Readers should have a background in calculus, chemistry, and basic fluid mechanics to fully grasp the quantitative content.
