Photochemical
Purification of Water and Air Advanced Oxidation Processes:
Principles, Reaction Mechanisms, Reactor Concepts
Thomas
Oppenländer
Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2002 (ISBN 3-527-30563-7)
While
the treatment of water and exhaust gas using ultraviolet light
offers both ecological and economic advantages, information
on photo-initiated advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs)
has been dispersed among various journals and proceedings
until now. This authoritative and comprehensive handbook is
the first to cover both the photochemical fundamentals and
practical applications, including a description of advanced
oxidation processes (AOPs) and process engineering of suitable
photoreactors. The author presents various real-world examples,
including economic aspects and uses the IUPAC recommendations
for nomenclature in photochemistry. The book’s many
references to current scientific literature will facilitate
research involving water and air industries. Throughout, over
140 detailed figures illustrate photochemical and photophysical
phenomena.
Following
is an excerpt from the foreword by James R. Bolton (president
of Bolton Photosciences, Inc. and executive director of the
International Ultraviolet Association): "Professor Oppenländer
is well qualified to write about the AOPs/AOTs since he has
contributed to this literature in a very significant manner.
This book will be of considerable value to graduate students,
science and engineering faculty, scientists, process engineers
and sales engineers in industry, government regulators, and
health professionals."
