High Purity Water Preparation for the Semiconductor, Pharamaceutical, and Power Industries

The book deals with the anatomical features of high-purity water preparation: ozone and ultraviolet light, filtration and sanitization, pretreatments, (such as water softening), deep-bed constructions, and carbon bed operations. The management of organisms, chlorinations, silica, scaling, fouling, the presence of manganese and irons, colloids, and TOC are other topics also covered. Additionally, the text reviews the principal purification procedures of distillation, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and the lesser-known electrically motivated processes.

It is directed to practical semiconductor, pharmaceutical and power generation applications. To achieve these ends, the book seeks to synthesize the separate individual treatment techniques into appropriate operating systems. Through this approach, the text focuses upon the reasons that compel particular treatments, the water chemistry concerns, the physical governances that require accommodation, and the logical organization of separate functions and devices into functioning systems designed for practical purposes. The approach is holistic; a unifying rationale is intended.
