Geochemistry by B. Saini Eidukat
This note explains the following topics: acid or base and electrochemical concepts, aqueous geochemistry and solid-water interactions with an emphasis on ground water, chemical weathering, mineral thermodynamics and redox (Eh-pH) diagrams and their applications to soil and mineral stability and ground water chemistry, modeling, environmental geochemistry and isotopes applied to groundwaters.
