White's Handbook of Chlorination and Alternative Disinfectants

Continuing the tradition of combining theory and practice, the 5th edition of The Handbook of Chlorination is a major revision of this classic book. This new edition is a thorough up to date reference on the use of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, peroxone bromine, bromine chloride, iodine, and ultraviolet radiation in water and wastewater treatment. It covers the regulatory impacts of using various disinfectants; the potential impacts of the end use of disinfected water; the advantages and disadvantages of each disinfectant; changes in chlorine production; and new chlorine handling methods. For each disinfectant, the book gives its chemistry, effectiveness, dosing, equipment, and system design requirements.
