Abstract
Principles of Water and Wastewater Treatment Processes is the third book in the Water and Wastewater Process Technologies Series.Â
The book outlines the principle unit operations that are involved in the separation, degradation and utilisation of organic and inorganic matter during water and wastewater treatment. The module builds on the subjects of chemistry, biology and engineering covered in Process Science and Engineering for Water and Wastewater Treatment (Module 1) and provides a descriptive introduction to unit operations that are further described with design and operational details in later books in the series.Â
The text of Principles of Water and Wastewater Treatment Processes has been divided into the following Units:
- Water QualityÂ
- Process FlowsheetingÂ
- Physical ProcessesÂ
- Chemical ProcessesÂ
- Sorption ProcessesÂ
- Biological ProcessesÂ
- Membrane ProcessesÂ
- Sludge Treatment UtilisationÂ
- Odour ManagementÂ
