Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions are among the most important and interesting chemical reactions that occur in aquatic environmental systems, which include soils, sediments, aquifers, rivers, lakes, estuaries, water treatment and distribution systems, etc. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of aquatic redox chemistry through chapters contributed by many of the leading investigators in the field. Each chapter summarizes core concepts and reports important new developments in areas of priority or emerging interest, such as the prediction of redox reaction rates and mechanisms, role of redox shuttles in biogeochemistry, interfacial properties of redox active minerals, role of reactive oxygen species in sunlit surface waters, water treatment technologies based on oxidation or reduction, and coupling of redox with transport processes. Fundamental and advanced aspects of each topic are balanced such that the volume can serve as teaching material for upper level students in environmental science or engineering, as well as being a valuable resource for experienced scientists and practitioners.

Dr. Paul G. Tratnyek is currently Professor, and Associate Head, in the Division of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems (EBS), Institute of Environmental Health (formerly Oregon Graduate Institute, OGI), at the Oregon Health & Science University, Portland OR, USA. His research concerns oxidation-reduction reactions and other physico-chemical processes that control the fate and effects of environmental substances, including minerals, metals, organics, and nanoparticles. Dr. Timothy J. Grundl is currently Professor in the Geosciences Department and Chair in the School of Freshwater Sciences (formerly the Great Lakes WATER Institute) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI, USA. His research uses environmental tracers in the study of oxidation-reduction reactions, groundwater provenance and recharge dynamics and fate of pollutants in aquifer systems. Dr. Stefan B. Haderlein is a full Professor at the Center for Applied Geosciences (ZAG) of the Eberhard-Karls University Tübingen, Germany. His research concerns sorption processes, oxidation-reduction reactions and other physico-chemical processes that control the fate of contaminants in the subsurface as well as stable isotope techniques to trace their origin and fate.
