Butterworth-Heinemann Natural Organic Matter in Water: Characterization, Treatment Methods, and Climate change Impact

Natural Organic Matter in Water: Characterization, Treatment Methods, and Climate Change Impact, Second Edition focuses on advanced filtration and treatment options, as well as processes for reducing disinfection by-products, making it an essential resource on the latest breakthroughs in the characterization, treatment and removal of natural organic matter (NOM) from drinking water. Based on the editor’s years of research and field experience, the book covers general parameters, isolation and concentration, fractionation, composition and structural analysis, and biological testing, along with removal methods such as inorganic coagulants, polyelectrolytes and composite coagulants. In addition, sections cover electrochemical and membranes removal methods such as electrocoagulation, electrochemical oxidation, microfiltration and ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and membrane fouling. This book is a valuable guide for engineers and researchers looking to integrate methods, processes and technologies to achieve desired affects. Review Up-to-date presentation of natural organic matter presented in aqueous media, including its impact and the removal of natural organic matter in water From the Back Cover <p><i>Natural Organic Matter in Water: Characterization, Treatment Methods, and Climate Change Impact</i> focuses on advance filtration and treatment options, as well as processes for reducing disinfection by-products, making it an essential resource to the latest breakthroughs in the characterization, treatment, and removal of natural organic matter (NOM) from drinking water.</p> <p>Based on the Editor’s years of research and field experience, Natural Organic Matter in Water begins with the characterization of NOM (including general parameters, isolation and concentration, fractionation, composition and structural analysis, and biological testing). This is followed by removal methods such as inorganic coagulants, polyelectrolytes, and composite coagulants. Electrochemical and membranes removal methods – such as electrocoagulation, electrochemical oxidation, microfiltration and ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and membrane fouling – are covered. In this reference, researchers will also find a discussion of NOM removal by advanced oxidation processes, adsorption, and ion exchange. Natural Organic Matter in Water Impact is a valuable guide for engineers and researchers looking to integrate methods, processes, and technologies to achieve their desired affects.</p> About the Author Mika Sillanpää’s research work centers on chemical treatment in environmental engineering and environmental monitoring and analysis.
