Ozonation of Water and Waste Water: A Practical Guide to Understanding Ozone and its Applications

Ozone is a reactive oxygen species that is increasingly used in water treatment, replacing environmentally harmful chlorine. Ozonation is effective against a range of contaminants found in water, including microbes and toxic chemicals. Because ozone can be generated from normal air ′on the spot′, it is superior to other chemical ′cleaners′ in many technical processes.
The leading resource on ozone technology, this book contains everything from chemical basics to technical and economic concerns. In this second edition, the text has been updated to include the latest developments in water treatment and industrial processes. Following an introduction, the first part looks at toxicology, reaction mechanisms and full–scale applications, while Part B covers experimental design, equipment and analytical methods, mass transfer, reaction kinetics and the application of ozone in combined processes.
A glossary of terms rounds off this handy reference for water and environmental chemists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, public water and public health agencies.
