Publisher's Synopsis
A book on oxidative processes in drinking water is timely, due to increased concern over toxic oxidation by-products and disinfection of certain resistant pathogens using oxidants.;This book is the first to include coverage in one volume of the chemistry of all oxidants used in the disinfection, treatment, and purification of drinking water and waste-water.;The nine chapters of this book provide an in-depth of the characteristics of natural and wastewater, oxidation reduction reaction and then in the last chapters goes on to address the chemistry of the main oxidants.;Each chapter contains a discussion of each oxidant covers its production, analysis, reactivity, selectivity, oxidation, by-products, possible uses, and limitations. It is based on basics of organic and inorganic chemistry.
