Abstract

Water treatment and purification in environmental protection are the worldwide issues to relieve the water shortage. At present, various treatment technologies for drinking water or wastewater have been developed. Hence, in this chapter, we will summarize the available water treatment and purification technologies including their advantages and disadvantages as well as the practical application. The main contents then can be divided into the following parts: Firstly, the purification processes for drinking water are introduced including the efficiency and mechanism of filtration and sedimentation, flocculation, disinfection, and other modern emerging technologies. Secondly, the principles and applications of existed wastewater treatment methods are summarized. Thirdly, the new technologies of water treatment are presented such as water reuse technology, membrane technology, advanced oxidation processes based deep water treatment technologies, etc. We think, by summarizing the recent literature and our preliminary work, the present chapter will give the basic information of various water treatment technologies for readers and further capitalize on these technologies for sustainable water management.
