Samenvatting:
Provides an excellent balance between theory and applications in the ever-evolving field of water and wastewater treatment
Completely updated and expanded, this is the most current and comprehensive textbook available for the areas of water and wastewater treatment, covering the broad spectrum of technologies used in practice today—ranging from commonly used standards to the latest state of the art innovations. The book begins with the fundamentals—applied water chemistry and applied microbiology—and then goes on to cover physical, chemical, and biological unit processes. Both theory and design concepts are developed systematically, combined in a unified way, and are fully supported by comprehensive, illustrative examples.
Theory and Practice of Water and Wastewater Treatment, 2nd Edition:
- Addresses physical/chemical treatment, as well as biological treatment, of water and wastewater
- Includes a discussion of new technologies, such as membrane processes for water and wastewater treatment, fixed-film biotreatment, and advanced oxidation
