Synopsis

This book examines the treatability of hazardous wastes by different physicochemical treatment processes according to the Quantitative Structure and Activity Relationship (QSAR) between kinetic rate constants and molecular descriptors. The author explores how to use these models to select treatment processes according to the molecular structure of organic pollutants. He covers how to use them to predict treatability of organic pollutants having similar molecular structures by each treatment process in both homogeneous and heterogeneous media. The book is a guide for assessing the treatability of pollutants prior to designing a treatment process and a reference on advanced oxidation processes.

About this title

Review:

"[The author] has generated a comprehensive treatise on the chemistry and kinetics underlying AOPsThe intent is to demonstrate how fundamental sciences guide the search for these innovative technologies[chapter] introductions provide the information necessary for readers to delve into the literature for current research topicsthe book is not simply a discussion of various treatment processes and their results. Rather, it is based on a thorough recitation of reaction kinetics. This book will be adopted in many university graduate environmental courses as well as being of interest to researchers and consultants." - Gary F. Bennett, Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2004
