Redox Reactions: Environmental Implications

This lecture covers the measurement of standard reduction potentials, environmentally relevant half cell reactions, calculation of corrected reduction potential for environmental conditions, redox processes in natural and technical aquatic systems, and the sequence of microbially mediated redox processes in aquatic systems. It also discusses groundwater recharge, redox processes in lakes, natural organic matter, processes in the hypolimnion and at the sediment-water interface, and biological processes in water treatment. Additionally, it explores the measurement and calculation of redox potentials in groundwaters, the application of oxidation processes in water treatment, chemical oxidation processes for drinking water and wastewater treatment, and the kinetics of oxidation reactions.
