Chemical Treatment Technologies: Chemical Principles
Chemicals provide the building blocks for everything in our physical world. Uncontrolled, their misuse can result in tragedy. As a safeguard against potential dangers, treatment processes are being implemented to mitigate or eliminate the harmful ...
Chemical Treatment Technologies: Oxidation and Reduction: An Overview
While some metals can be readily precipitated, others cannot be until they are reduced. The clarified water resulting from these processes can then be discharged into a municipal wastewater treatment system.
Chemical Treatment Technologies: Water Treatment
The control of pH is critical in the treatment of both wastewater and drinking water. Through the Clean Water Act of 1972, the Environmental Protection Agency established standards for water quality and limits for the toxicity of effluents from ind...
Chemical Treatment Technologies: Oxidation, Reduction and Gaseous Wastes
Oxidation and reduction not only apply to liquid waste streams. A packed bed scrubber can be used to treat gaseous wastes, such as the hydrogen sulfide odors from a water treatment facility.
