This is the second edition (originally published in 1981) of a guide for the user of purified water. The contributions are from a team of experts who write on topics relating to the purification of water for research, industry, and medicine. The book covers the processes and systems designed to convert potable water to purified water of a predetermined specification. It presents the theory and technology of the available purification processes as well as the essential unit measurements for the expression of raw water characteristics. The book shows the enormous shift in emphasis in water system design with regard to water prescriptions, instruments, and monitors. Treatment processes such as ultrafiltration and ozonation, which are now in wide use, are covered in separate chapters. The roles of distillation and reverse osmosis for sea water desalination are discussed in depth. This book emphasizes the need for team work in water treatment planning between the specialist manufacturer and the water user. Separate abstracts are included for 3 chapters in this book for inclusion in the appropriate data bases.
