Publisher's Synopsis
The treatment of self-containing waters, such as seawater, brackish water and saline industrial water, as far as chemistry and process engineering is concerned, is dealt with in this book. The topic is very important for the drinking water supply of mankind, for minimization of damage to the environment, and for irrigation projects in dry countries.;The work aims to give advice to all those involved in desalination, and partial desalination plants. Advice is offered to all those who want to know how best to design, construct, run, and maintain a plant for the purposes at hand, and how to avoid set-backs.;The authors of this book have for several years been members of a study-group of the Water Chemistry division in the German Chemical Society.
