Division/Committee: [ENVR: Division of Environmental Chemistry]

This session invites presentations focused on recent developments in aquatic redox chemistry. Redox reactions play critical roles in determining the quality, chemistry, and biology of aquatic systems. These reactions can occur naturally, be driven by electrochemical reactions, or be caused by the addition of chemical reactants. Elucidating the mechanisms, pathways, kinetics, and implications of these redox reactions is essential for understanding and modeling natural biogeochemical processes and designing engineered water treatment processes. In this broad and inclusive session, we invite contributions on recent developments that explore all aspects of aquatic redox chemistry, from mechanistic molecular-based studies to field-scale experiments and simulations. We particularly encourage contributions that examine interfacial redox reactions at mineral-water interfaces or electrodes and photochemically driven redox reactions. We additionally invite contributions that make use of novel experimental and analytical techniques to study aquatic redox reactions, such as those that use electrochemical, spectroscopic, and computational modeling techniques.
