Beginning with the generic means for investigating water to complex processes for the removal of soluble and particulate materials, Water Quality Engineering: Physical/Chemical Treatment Processes provides a comprehensive overview of the physical and chemical processes for treating water and wastewater. Author M. Benjamin describes the fundamental and mathematical theory behind water treatment methods and includes examples illustrating common calculations related to each process, as well as more concrete, real–world examples in each chapter. The text provides a theoretical underpinning of practice, making it a valuable reference for working environmental engineers.
