This second edition demonstrates how chemistry influences the design o f water treatment plants and how it should influence the design. Hist orically, water treatment plants have been designed from hydraulic con siderations with little regard to chemical aspects. The many chemical reactions used for removal of pollutants from water simply cannot be f orced to occur within current designs. This book re-examines this trad itional approach in light of today's water quality and treatment. Wil l current water treatment processes be sufficient to meet future deman ds or will new processes have to be devised? Chemistry of Water Treatm ent assesses the chemical and physical efficacies of current processes to meet the demands of the Safe Drinking water Act, providing expert information to persons responsible for the production of potable water into the next century.
