Book description
New edition covers the latest practices, regulations, and alternative disinfectants
Since the publication of the Fourth Edition of White's Handbook of
Chlorination and Alternative Disinfectants more than ten years
ago, the water industry has made substantial advances in their
understanding and application of chlorine, hypochlorite, and
alternative disinfectants for water and wastewater treatment. This
Fifth Edition, with its extensive updates and revisions,
reflects the current state of the science as well as the latest practices.
Balancing theory with practice, the Fifth Edition covers such
important topics as:
-
Advances in the use of UV and ozone as disinfectants
-
Alternative disinfectants such as chlorine dioxide, iodine, and
bromine-related products
-
Advanced oxidation processes for drinking water and wastewater treatment
-
New developments and information for the production and
handling of chlorine
-
Latest regulations governing the use of different disinfectants
For each disinfectant, the book explains its chemistry,
effectiveness, dosing, equipment, and system design requirements.
Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of each disinfectant are
clearly set forth. References at the end of each chapter guide readers
to the primary literature for further investigation.
Authored and reviewed by leading experts in the field of water and
wastewater treatment, this Fifth Edition remains an ideal
reference for utilities, regulators, engineers, and plant operators
who need current information on the disinfection of potable water,
wastewater, industrial water, and swimming pools.
