Halogenation and Disinfection

  • Chapter
Physicochemical Treatment Processes

Part of the book series: Handbook of Environmental Engineering ((HEE,volume 3))

Abstract

Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are the elements of the halogen family. Fluorine, in its oxidizing form, has no practical value in water or wastewater treatment systems. Of the other three, chlorine is by far the commonly used and thus will receive most of attention in this chapter.
