Photochemical Purification of Water and Air: Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) - Principles, Reaction Mechanisms, Reactor Concepts

this Is The First Comprehensive Handbook On Technologies Using U-v Light For Water And Air Treatment. This Unique Reference Offers Information On The Fundamentals And Practical Applications On These Technologies, Using Real-world Examples. highlights Include: explores Economical Aspects In A Special Chapter includes Extensive List Of More Than 700 References And A Glossary Of Terms According To The Iupac Nomenclature over 140 Detailed Figures Visualize Photochemcal And Photophysical Phenomena Throughout The Book invaluable To Environmental Chemists, Water Chemists And Process Engineers. While the treatment of water and exhaust gas using ultraviolet (UV) light offers both ecological and economic advantages, information on photo-initiated advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) has been dispersed among various journals and proceedings until now. This authoritative and comprehensive handbook is the first to cover both the photochemical fundamentals and practical applications, including a description of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and process engineering of suitable photoreactors. The author presents various real-world examples, including economic aspects, while many references to current scientific literature facilitate access to current research topics relevant for water and air industries. Throughout, over 140 detailed figures visualize photochemical and photophysical phenomena, and help in interpreting important research results. From the foreword by James R. Bolton (President of Bolton Photosciences Inc., Executive Director of the International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA)): "Prof. Oppenlnder is well qualified to write about the AOPs/AOTs, since he has contributed to this literature in a very significant manner. This book will be of considerable value to graduate students, science and engineering faculty, scientists, process engineers and sales engineers in industry, government regulators and health professionals." This is the first comprehensive handbook on technologies using U-V light for water and air treatment. This unique reference offers information on the fundamentals and practical applications on these technologies, using real-world examples. Highlights include: Explores economical aspects in a special chapter; Includes extensive list of more than 700 references and a glossary of terms according to the IUPAC nomenclature; Over 140 detailed figures visualize photochemcal and photophysical phenomena throughout the book Invaluable to Environmental Chemists, Water Chemists and Process Engineers While the treatment of water and exhaust gas using ultraviolet (UV) light offers ecological and economic advantages, information on photo initiated advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) is dispered. This work brings you the photochemical fundamentals and practical applications, including a description of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Students and experts who concentrate seriously on research and development strategies that are related to the interdisciplinary topics of UV radiation/light, the environment and technology are increasingly confronted with an enormous flood of information that is spread throughout the scientific and technical literature.
