Handbook of Chemical Oxidation Processes Sievers 1.º edición

This Handbook contains a brief overview of advanced oxidation processes including ozone as an oxidant (chemistry, toxicity, safety aspects, reaction mechanisms, kinetics, reactor design). In addition to this, examples of experiments and lessons as well as their results and solutions, respectively, are included to give information about possible mistakes. Benefits and drawbacks of the different oxidation processes are provided. The comparison of different oxidation processes include an overview of the advantages and disadvantages dependent on the type of water to be treated and the objective of the treatment. Recent developments show the high potential of chemical oxidation processes to play an important role in water reuse applications and the degradation of chemicals of priority list of European Water Framework Directive. Handbook of Chemical Oxidation Processes complements the existing AOP/chemistry books by special emphasis on combined processes, e.g. biological treatment, physical-chemical and membrane treatment as well as on new achievements. Based on this basic knowledge, the reader should be in a better position to optimize, develop, discuss etc. oxidation processes and last but not least avoid mistakes that are often repeated. This is a handbook for engineers, consultants, experts and PhD students.
