Chemistry of Ozone in Water and Wastewater Treatment

摘要

This new book, published by IWA and authored by IOA members Clemens von Sonntag and Urs von Gunten will discuss mechanistic details of ozone reactions as much as they are known to date and apply them to the large hody of studies on micropollutant degradation such as pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupters that is already available. Extensively quoting the literature and updating the available compilation of ozone rate constants will give the reader a text at hand on which his research can be based. Moreover, those that are responsible for planning or operation of ozonation steps in drinking water and wastewater treatment plants will find salient information in a compact form that otherwise is quite disperse. A critical compilation of rate constants for the various classes of compounds is given in each chapter, including all the recent publications. This is a very useful source of information for researchers and practitioners who need kinetic information on emerging contaminants. Furthermore, each chapter contains a large selection of examples of reaction mechanisms for the transformation of micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fuel additives, solvents, taste and odor compounds, cyanotoxins.
