Book Description
With the nation looking toward a goal of ``zero discharge'' in water
pollutants by the early 1980s, this timely handbook is an ideal source of
information for specialists and nonspecialists alike. It provides completely
practical data and techniques in the four major water conservation and use
areas: (1) water chemistry, sources, and contaminants; (2) unit operations and
treatment; (3) industrial and municipal use of water and its disposal; and (4)
special technology in water treatment.
From the Back Cover
Prepared by a staff of experts in the field and sponsored by the
largest company in the world specializing in chemicals for water treatment, this
is the comprehensive sourcebook on water supply and treatment. It offers
practical advice on how to improve water quality, optimize water usage and
treatment processes, and avoid mistakes when dealing with vendors.
Here, in one convenient reference, is everything you need to know about the best
use of water in any situation and the best way to condition it. The book fully
covers these important topics:
* chemistry of water
* water sources
* water contaminants
* water treatment
* water disposal
* industrial use of water
* water used by municipalities
This new Second Edition has been revised and updated to reflect major advances
in technology, in all aspects of the field, from analysis to unit operations.
There is new coverage of coal and coke gasification...electric furnace steel and
direct reduction steel production...ultrapure water as used in pharmaceutical
plants, the electronics industry, and utility plants...acid rain...treating
contaminated groundwater and toxic leachates...and chemical feed systems. New
material is presented in the rapidly expanding areas of membrane separation and
ion exchange. There's also a new chapter on energy which will be of particular
interest to water chemists, especially those in utility plants.
