Water Supply and Quality Book from C.H.I.P.S.

White's Handbook of Chlorination and Alternative Disinfectants
Fifth Edition
edited by Sharon Andrew

White's Handbook of Chlorination and Alternative Disinfectants reflects the current state of the science as well as the latest practices.

Balancing theory with practice, White's Handbook of Chlorination and Alternative Disinfectantsn covers such important topics as:

  • Advances in the use of UV and ozone as disinfectants
  • Alternative disinfectants such as chlorine dioxide, iodine, and bromine-related products
  • Advanced oxidation processes for drinking water and wastewater treatment
  • New developments and information for the production and handling of chlorine
  • Latest regulations governing the use of different disinfectants
For each disinfectant, the book explains its chemistry, effectiveness, dosing, equipment, and system design requirements. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of each disinfectant are clearly set forth. References at the end of each chapter guide readers to the primary literature for further investigation.
