Ozone Reaction Kinetics for Water and Wastewater Systems

This text compiles information about ozonation kinetics of compounds for water and wastewater treatment professionals in a single volume. Application of kinetics to the evaluation, design, and implementation of ozone technology is discussed, along with information to determine when to use ozone treatments, and how to design effective systems. The book is divided into seven themes, including: classification and studies on the kinetics of ozone direct reactions in water and wastewater; the determination of ozone rate coefficient (or reactivity quantification) in wastewater, according to the COD level, and the effects on biodegradability; and the kinetic modeling of the ozonation of water and wastewaters.
