White's Handbook of Chlorination and Alternative Disinfectants (eBook)

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.
