The book begins with an overview of the different groups of Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs), such as: Trihalomethanes (THM), Halo acetic acids, and Haloacetonitrile (HAN). This coverage is quickly followed by a clear and rigorous exposition of the latest methods and technologies for the characterization, occurrence, formation, transformation and removal of DBPs in drinking water. Other chapters focus on ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, electron spin resonance, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Researchers will find a valuable resource to a breath of topics for DBP detection and treatment, including various recent techniques, such as microfiltration, nanofiltration membrane and nanotechnology.
- Explains the latest research in detection, treatment processes and remediation technologies
- Includes sampling, analytical and characterization methods and approaches
- Covers cutting-edge research, including membrane based technologies, nanotechnology treatment technologies and bioremediation treatment technologies
- Provides background information regarding contamination sources
