The Science and Technology of Industrial Water Treatment

Beschreibung

Featuring the contributions of industrial and academic experts, this volume discusses the fundamental and practical aspects of industrial water treatment. After an overview of water chemistry and the characteristics of mineral scales, the book addresses the formation and control of different scales in various systems. It covers membrane-based separation processes, reverse osmosis systems, and scale control in thermal distillation processes. It also discusses corrosion control and the interactions of polyelectrolytes with suspended matter. Lastly, the book examines bacteria in water supplies, analytical techniques for identifying mineral scales and deposits, polymer use, and the monitoring of parameters and chemicals used to treat industrial water systems.

Autor

Zahid Amjad received his MSc in chemistry from Punjab University, Lahore, Pakistan, and his PhD in chemistry from Glasgow University in Scotland. Dr. Amjad was a lecturer at the Institute of Chemistry, Punjab University, and an assistant research professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He began his professional career as an R&D scientist. During his more than 30 years at Calgon Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and The Lubrizol Corporation, Wickliffe, Ohio (formerly BFGoodrich Performance Materials), he has worked in various fields including cosmetics, home care, oral care, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and related areas. His areas of research include the development and application of water soluble/swellable polymers, inhibition of mineral scale formation, water purification, and interactions of polymers with different substrates (i.e., heat exchanger, membrane, tooth enamel, hair, fabric, pigments). He has published over 140 technical papers, holds 30 patents, and has edited 5 books. He was inducted into the National Hall of Corporate Inventors and is listed in American Men and Women of Sciences, Who's Who in Technology, and Who's Who of American Inventors. Dr. Amjad was the 2002 recipient of the Association of Water Technologies' Ray Baum Memorial Water Technologist of the Year award. He is currently a technical consultant to Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio, and the owner of Aqua Science and Technology LLC, Columbus, Ohio, which provides consulting services for industrial water treatment, separation processes, and related technologies.
