It is difficult to imagine anything more important to the human
population than safe drinking water. Lack of clean drinking water
is still the major cause of illness and death in young children in
developing countries. In more fortunate communities, where water
treatment is practiced, the primary aim of water authorities is to
provide water that is free from pathogens and toxins. Most
countries now have water quality regulations, or guidelines, which
are driving water authorities to produce purer water, with the
minimum of contamination from natural or man-made origin. At the
same time, consumers are demanding that chemicals added during the
treatment of drinking water be kept to a minimum. As a consequence,
conventional clarification methods are being challenged to comply
with the new regulations and restrictions and our understanding of
the mechanisms involved is being tested as never before.
Interface Science in Drinking Water Treatment contains a rigorous
review of water treatment practices from a fundamental viewpoint.
The book includes material from leading experts in the field of
water treatment, reviewing their specific fields of expertise
against a background of colloid and surface chemistry, and examines
each step of the journey from source to consumer tap. It therefore
permits the reader to develop a deep understanding of the complex
processes taking place and of the necessary treatments which are
vital for the provision of safe and palatable drinking water. The
book is aimed at researchers, educators and practitioners in
science and engineering, particularly those involved in water
treatment and colloidal chemistry.
- Covers all existing water treatment processes, approached from a
fundamental surface and colloid science viewpoint
- Unique collection of R&D authors, all experts in water
treatment processes
- Comprehensive review of water treatment with a complete list of
references
