Features: This book elaborates on the significance of water treatment agents for sustainable development from the perspective of deteriorating global environmental conditions, particularly water scarcity and pollution. It introduces the main contents and historical development of water treatment. Based on an overview of the characteristics and hazards of various water quality pollutants, scaling, and corrosion, the book provides a detailed explanation of the categories, varieties, synthesis methods, properties, and mechanisms of action of water treatment agents, as well as influencing factors. It also covers the application technologies of various water treatment agents. Building on the previous edition, it supplements the latest developments in water treatment and water treatment agents, primarily adding experimental data on new varieties of water treatment agents and their performance. The book particularly provides in-depth discussions on current hot topics in water treatment practice, such as the reuse of wastewater for cooling, green biocides, and the mutual interactions between water treatment agents. The water treatment agents covered in this book include flocculants, coagulants, scale and dispersant inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, biocides and algaecides, sludge dewatering agents, ion exchange resins, cleaning agents, pre agents, chelating agents, coagulation and decolorizing agents, phosphorus removal agents, and activated carbon. This book is suitable for researchers, designers, and technicians engaged in water treatment, as well as faculty and students of relevant disciplines in universities and colleges. It is also a valuable reference for scientists, production personnel, and technical service staff involved in the research, production, and sales of water treatment agents and their intermediates, as well as water system management personnel in enterprises.
