Opis

Unit processes comprise the components of a treatment train used to remove contaminants from water. An understanding of these processes provides the foundation for continued learning and for designing treatment systems. The principles of unit processes also apply to ambient environmental contexts, such as transport of groundwater contaminants and stream pollution. Unit process theory is one of the core areas of an environmental engineering curriculum, and is important for the design of water treatment systems. This text provides grounding in the underlying principles of unit processes in a comprehensive approach that links theory to practice, suitable for a two-semester environmental engineering course.
