Explore the principles, methods, and applications of modern desalination processes
Introduction to Desalination: Principles, Processes, and Calculations delivers a comprehensive and robust exploration of desalination highlighted with numerous illustrative examples and calculations.
The book is divided into three sections, the first of which offers an introduction to the topic that includes chapters covering global water scarcity and the need for "new water." The second section discusses the desalination process, including evaporation, reverse osmosis, crystallization, hybrid systems, and other potable water processes. The final part covers topics that include water conservation, environmental considerations of desalination, economic impacts of desalination, optimization, ethics, and the future of desalination.
The book also includes:
* A comprehensive introduction to desalination, including discussions of engineering principles, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of water, and water chemistry
* An extensive engineering analysis of the various desalination processes
* Practical discussions of miscellaneous desalination topics, including the environmental and economic effects of the technology
Perfect for process, chemical, mechanical, environmental, and civil engineers, Introduction to Desalination: Principles, Processes, and Calculations is also a valuable resource for materials scientists, operators, and technicians working in the field.
Louis Theodore, Eng.Sc.D, (retired) was a Professor of Chemical Engineering for 50 years. He is the author of several publications, including Fluid Flow for the Practicing Chemical Engineer, Thermodynamics for the Practicing Engineer, Mass Transfer Operations for the Practicing Engineer, and Air Pollution Control Equipment Calculations and Pollution Prevention. R. Ryan Dupont, PhD, is Cazier Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and a Research Associate at the Utah Water Research Laboratory. He is the author of many research publications and books including Groundwater and Soil Remediation: Process Design and Cost Estimating of Proven Technologies, Water Resource Management Issues: Basic Principles and Applications, and Unit Operations in Environmental Engineering.
