Chemistry for Environmental Engineering

by Perry L. McCarty and Clair Nathan Sawyer

Book Overview

Considered the definitive text for the first course in chemistry for environmental engineers. This text has a two-fold purpose: 1) bring into focus those aspects of chemistry which are particularly valuable to environmental engineering practices, and 2) lay a groundwork of understanding in the area of specialized quantitative analysis, commonly referred to as "water and wastewater analysis."

Customer Reviews

If you want to know it all....

If you want to know it all about chemistry, this is the book for you. Covers general, physical, equilibrium, organic, bio-, colloid and nuclear chemistry in addition to all the environmental and wastewater chemistry. Take the time to read the chapters slowly and carefully, as almost every sentence contains vital information that you have to know. Fairly easy to follow and the example problems give good explanations. Downsides are that there are very few pictures and there could be more example problems.

Must Have For All Environmental Engineers

This is one book which an engineer esp an environemtal engineer must have as it starts from basics and takes you to complex situations making them understandable.
