Chemical Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9781843392705


Chemical Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment covers the subject of chemical treatment processes for water and wastewater treatment from simple precipitation through to advanced oxidation processes. International research and development into chemical processes has grown exponentially over the last 5 years and there are few up to date books that compare the processes. A large amount of new material is currently being researched and practiced throughout the world and this book combines underlying process science with new information from research, commercial processes and operational practices into one text. The focus of the book is on the science behind the key treatment processes as well as their application and process design. A number of case studies discuss design, operation, performance and economics factors for commercial processes. Chemical Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment is intended to be a teaching aid for postgraduate level courses in water treatment and environmental engineering in addition to being a reference text for academics and researchers involved in wastewater treatment, pollution control technology and environmental engineering. The book will also be a useful reference for consultants in environmental and civil engineering, for water utility operators, and for environmental professionals working for governmental bodies.
