Reflecting the growing importance of advanced filtration systems in water treatment, this book examines particles and their behavior in water systems, particularly in relation to techniques designed to capture and remove them. Based on 35 years of experience, the author outlines the principles for understanding particle properties and shows how such information pertains to mitigating water treatment processes, including sedimentation, flocculation, and filtration. The book describes particle surface charges and interactions and explains how particles are captured in filters. It also presents methods for characterizing particles, both individually and as aggregates.
