Intro

This intended to be a source for researchers interested in learning more about environmental chemistry with a focus on the chemisty of natural waters and treatment systems. It is especially oriented to those working in areas of water quality and treatment. The area is divided into:

Oxidants - Coagulants - Anthropogenics

In each case major publications and unpublished summaries are directly linked to this page. Where substantial primary literature exists in focused journal articles, these are accessed through a secondary link.

Oxidants

• Chlorine Chemistry
• Chloramine Chemistry and Treatment
• Ozone Chemistry
• Ferrate Chemistry and Treatment
• Radical Chemistry

Coagulants

Metals and Anthropogenic Compounds

• Cadmium, Mercury, Lead, Iron

Others

• Electrochemical Methods (principles, analytical & treatment)
