Equilibrium Versus Kinetics in Water Purification

  • Chapter
  • 217 Accesses

Synopsis

The ion exchange equilibria and the kinetics of the exchange processes are two of the most important factors that can influence the performance of water purification plant. Following a general discussion of equilibria and kinetics, the relative importance of each factor at various stages in the water purification process is illustrated with practical examples from operating plants.
