Overview of the Health and Environmental Impacts of Desalination Technology, J. Cotruvo and H. Abouzaid -- Desalination Process Technology, N. Voutchkov, C. Sommariva, T. Pankratz, and J. Tonner -- Chemical Aspects of Desalinated Water, J. Fawell, M.Y. Abdulraheem, J. Cotruvo, F. Al-Awadhi, Y. Magara, and C. Nam Ong -- Sanitary Microbiology of the Production and Distribution of Desalinated Drinking Water, P. Payment, M. Prévost, J.-C. Block, and S. Jiang -- Monitoring, Surveillance, and Regulation, D. Cunliffe, S. Kunikane, R. Sakaji, and N. Carter -- Environmental Impact Assessment of Desalination Projects, S. Lattemann, K.H. Mancy, B.S. Damitz, H.K. Khordagui, and G. Leslie -- Index.
Summary: Desalination Technology: Health and Environmental Impacts covers the latest developments in desalination, examining the environmental and public health-related impacts of these technologies. Written by international experts, the text presents specifications for assessing water quality, technical issues associated with desalination technologies, and the chemical aspects of desalinated water and its microbiology. The book also discusses environmental protection issues that assist in the optimization of proposed and existing desalination facilities to ensure that nations and consumers enjoy the benefits of the expanded access to desalinated water. This includes coverage of health and environmental issues such as energy conservation and sustainability as well as protection of delicate coastal ecosystems and groundwater from contamination by surface disposal of concentrates—challenges that must be addressed during the design, construction, and operation of a desalination facility.
