Water is a paramount determinant of quality of life. The WHO
experts believe that the sickness and death rates of the world
population could be reduced by 75% by maintaining good quality of
drinking water. That is why thirty-one leading scientists and
specialists from fifteen countries gathered in November 2003 at the
NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "Modern Tools and Methods
of Water Treatment for Improving Living Standards" in
Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, to discuss the scientific concepts and
practical means for the solution of the complex social, economic
and ecological problems associated with water purification,
consumption, conservation, and protection. All this is covered in
this book of proceedings of the NATO ARW.
This book contains four parts. In Part 1, the readers will find
recent advances in drinking water treatment in the United States,
biological control in water-cooling towers, analytical control of
drinking water quality, and the use of radionuclides for monitoring
global contamination. In Part 2, some innovative methods and tools,
such as electrochemically-stimulated sorption and sorption-membrane
methods, a bubble-extraction method, fibroid sorbents, in-situ
oxygen curtain technology, use of ion-exchange membranes,
electrochemically-generated silver and copper ions and colloidal
gold for water purification and post-purification are presented. In
Part 3, recent studies into the treatment of wastewaters could be
found. Among them: water reclamation and recycling in Danish
industry, biocide polymers as a new opportunity in water treatment,
optimization of galvanic wastewater treatment processes, efficiency
of nitrification and denitrification processes inwastewater
treatment plants, electrochemical processes for wastewater
purification employing fluidized beds of particles, cold plasma as
a new tool for purification of wastewater from chemical
contaminants, bacteria and viruses. In Part 4, examples of
management of water resources in the United Kingdom, Bulgaria,
Poland, Croatia, and Romania using a variety of case studies are
presented. Also, the important issue of industry-university
cooperation for postgraduate education and training in the water
treatment area is discussed.
We believe that this book will be helpful to the international
community of scientists, specialists and students dealing with
water treatment, purification, conservation and protection.
