Zusatztext "For readers who are already familiar with the subject! or those who want to refresh their knowledge of some basics or prepare some extra slides for their environmental chemistry courses ? Students! or even established researchers and practitioners! will profit from this book if the topic of particles in water is an interesting side-aspect of their work. ? this book is an ideal starting point for those who are unfamiliar with the concepts of colloidal chemistry! before they move on to the more detailed and incomparably more extensive literature." - Thilo Hofmann! Frank von der Kammer! Department of Geosciences! Vienna University! Austria! in Angewandte Chemie! Vol. 46/20! May 2007 Informationen zum Autor John Gregory Klappentext Based on over 35 years of experience! Particles in Water: Properties and Processes examines particles and their behavior in water systems. The book offers clear and accessible methods for characterizing a range of particles both individually and as aggregates. It sets out the principles for understanding particle properties and shows how such information helps to understand and improve water treatment processes! including sedimentation! flocculation! and filtration. With the growing importance of advanced filtration systems in water treatment! this book provides an excellent summary of the behavior of particles in water systems and in relation to techniques designed to capture and remove them. Zusammenfassung Reflecting the importance of advanced filtration systems in water treatment, this book examines particles and their behavior in water systems, particularly in relation to techniques designed to capture and remove them. It also presents methods for characterizing particles, both individually and as aggregates. Inhaltsverzeichnis General Introduction. Particle Size and Related Properties. Charged Particles. Colloid Stability. Aggregation Kinetics. Coagulation and Flocculation. Separation Methods...
