Ozonation of Water and Waste Water. A Practical Guide to Understanding Ozone and its Applications

2nd, compl. rev. and upd. ed. Wiley-VCH. 2010. 369 p. The leading resource on ozone technology, this book contains everything from chemical basics to technical and economic concerns. The text has been updated to include the latest developments in water treatment and industrial processes. Following an introduction, the first part looks at toxicology, reaction mechanisms and full-scale applications, while Part B covers experimental design, equipment and analytical methods, mass transfer, reaction kinetics and the application of ozone in combined processes.

Developments in legislation to protect the aquatic environment, including surface waters, ground water, the coastal zone, and wetlands, make effective monitoring of water quality essential. Thus the development and validation of cost-effective technologies and methodologies that can be adopted widely for routine monitoring are needed. As well as the current methods used, the range of promising tools under development have the potential to be included in the ‘toolboxes’ of those charged with managing water quality.

This volume sets out to

• examine the range of technologies and methodologies, their properties and their applicability and potential contribution in monitoring programmes. 

• illustrate by example, the utility of the monitoring tools for laboratory and field applications.

• bring together a wide range of monitoring tools —both those available, and some under development

• provide an assessment of the potential for underpinning environmental management and legislation.

Water Quality Measurements Series

This series provides comprehensive coverage of the analytical techniques used for the measurement of substances in water, from sampling through to laboratory analysis. The scope of the series encompasses topic issues including quality assurance, standard procedures, and the best practices in measuring water quality, from surface and drinking water to marine and wastewater. The techniques are discussed in relation to current legislation and guidelines.

The series aims to offer workable answers to specific issues related to measurements of the water cycle quality using a comprehensive and scientifically sound approach.

This new edition of a classic text has now been extensively updated to include the latest developments in risk analysis and water quality assessment and management. It takes into account the role of ecological water quality in integrated regional and transboundary water resources management, according to the latest UNESCO programmes and the new EU-Water Framework Directive.

This practice-oriented textbook is a unique tool for identifying and evaluating local and regional environmental risks from pollution hazards in groundwater, river water and coastal seawaters. The book explains different risk-based probabilistic methodologies and fuzzy logic-based approaches and includes various mathematical models for water quality simulation and theories, such as the decision analysis, the utility theory and the integrated risk-based multi-criteria assessment and management, in order to thoroughly evaluate several case studies from the real world.

Questions testing the reader's understanding are given at the end of each chapter, and a useful appendix provides hints for answering them as well the solutions themselves.

This first in-depth and comprehensive reference on the most pertinent polar contaminant classes and their behavior in the whole water cycle includes, among others, industrial chemicals, consumer products, polar herbicides and pharmaceuticals. All chapters are uniformly structured, covering properties, pollution sources, occurrence in wastewater, surface water, and groundwater as well as water treatment aspects, while ecotoxicological and assessment aspects are also covered. Among the authors are leading experts in their relevant fields, many of whom provide here groundbreaking research results.
The result is an up-to-date information source for researchers and professionals working in water quality monitoring, water supply, or wastewater treatment, as well as environmental and water chemists, geochemists, ecologists, chemists and engineers.

"With well over 6,000 pertinent references, this is a practical 'how to do' guide for either reengineering existing technologies or implementing innovative processes. After an introduction to the development of clean technology concepts, the first part looks at the theory and engineering of membrane processes. Part 2 deals with membranes in such industries as water, textiles, paper, metal plating, pharmaceuticals and food. The final part discusses materials management, including metals, acids, and hydrocarbons separations. Finally, an appendix lists membrane manufacturers and companies dealing with clean technologies, as well as various lists of toxic, harmful or prohibited substances."--Page 4 de la couverture "With well over 6,000 pertinent references, this is a practical 'how to do' for either reengineering existing technologies or implementing innovative processes.
