Opis

Physical-Chemical Treatment of Water and Wastewater is both descriptive but is also analytical in nature and covers the physical unit operations and unit processes utilized in the treatment of water and wastewater. While its organization is designed to match the major processes, its approach is mathematical. The authors stress the description and derivation of processes and process parameters in mathematical terms, which can then be generalized into diverse empirical situations. Each chapter includes design equations, definitions of symbols, a glossary of terms, and numerous worked examples. This book fills a niche as the only dedicated textbook in the area of physical and chemical methods. Provides tables to give the reader the practical values of variables Covers material based on the latest CWA and SDWA requirements Offers numerous figures to aid in comprehending the discussions in the text Includes nearly 700 end-of-chapter problems, and an instructor's manual is available
