Water Chlorination and Chloramination

  • Chapter
Advanced Physicochemical Treatment Processes

Part of the book series: Handbook of Environmental Engineering ((HEE,volume 4))

Abstract

Many chemicals function as both oxidizing agents (i.e., oxidants) and disinfecting agents (i.e., disinfectants); therefore, both oxidizing and disinfecting properties must be considered when selecting a chemical. The important characteristics of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, monochloramine, ozone, and UV radiation are described in many chapters of this handbook series(1-3). This chapter places emphasis on chlorination and chlo-ramination of potable water.Chlorination and chloramination of wastewater,sludge, and septage are also important (1-10),but will be introduced in separated chapters of this handbook series.
