UV-Visible Spectrophotometry of Water and Wastewater

UV-Visible Spectrophotometry of Water and Wastewater, Second Edition, represents an update to the first book dedicated to the use of UV spectrophotometry for water and wastewater quality monitoring. Using practical examples, the book illustrates how this technique can be a source of new methods of characterization and measurement. Easy and fast to run, this simple and robust analytical technique must be considered as one of the best ways to obtain a quantitative estimation of specific or aggregate parameters (e.g.. Nitrate, TOC), and simultaneously qualitative information on the global composition of water and its variation. This second edition presents the current methods and applications for water quality monitoring based on UV spectra, including the most recent works and developments. After the introduction of the basics for UV spectrophotometry understanding, the applications of UV measurement are presented, both from the family of chemicals and water quality parameters and from the type of water. Writing from years of experience in the development and applications of UV systems and from scientific and technical works, the authors provide several useful examples showing the great interest of UV spectrophotometry for water quality monitoring. At the end of the book, the UV spectra library of the first edition includes dozens of new chemicals of interest. Adds dozens of new chemicals of interest to the first electronic library of UV-spectra, providing data readily available for researchers and usersIncludes new sections on data integrity and security, UV estimation of classes of compounds, UV and turbidity, pollution tracking, high frequency monitoring, seawater, disinfection by products assessment, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and moreProvides a theoretical basis for further research in the field of spectra exploitationContains helpful practical applications of this quick, simple, and inexpensive technique INDICE: 1.
