Colloid and Interface Chemistry for Water Quality Control, 1st Edition, examines fundamental physical-chemistry principles through the framework of water treatment. The textbook connects colloid and surface chemistry concepts directly to water quality control technologies and methods.
The volume addresses core colloidal behavior alongside interfacial phenomena. Topics include diffusion, Brownian motion, sedimentation under gravity and centrifugal forces, and the electrical properties governing particle stability. It also explores liquid, solution, and solid surfaces, as well as emulsion, foam, and gel systems.
Featuring exercises, problems, and solutions to test understanding, this text supports graduate students, researchers, and engineers working in water supply, drainage, environmental science, and environmental engineering.
