Qualitative Procedures for Identifying Particles in Drinking Water

Front Cover
American Water Works Association, 2005 - Nature - 138 pages
So that engineers can respond to consumer complaints about particulate matter in drinking water, this manual provides a series of decision trees for selecting an analysis process, and describes wet chemical methods for making qualitative identifications of aluminum, copper, iron, lead, manganese, and zinc contaminants along with advanced methods for confirming results. Preparation of reagents required for each wet chemical method and procedural instructions are listed on the left-hand page, while color images are reproduced on the right. Case studies of particle samples collected from utilities and a literature review are provided, but no index. Spiral binding. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
