This book presents in a concise format the methods used to develop mathematical models for water and wastewater treatment. It provides a systematic approach to mass balances, transport and transformation processes, kinetics, stoichiometry, reactor hydraulics, residence time distribution, heterogeneous systems, and the dynamic behaviour of reactors. In addition it includes an introduction to parameter identification, error analysis, error propagation, process control, time series analysis, stochastic modelling and probabilistic design. Written as a textbook it is primarily intended to support graduate and doctoral students in environmental engineering, but may also serve as a valuable resource for academics and practitioners alike.

It provides a systematic approach to mass balances, transport and transformation processes, kinetics, stoichiometry, reactor hydraulics, residence time distribution, heterogeneous systems, and dynamic behaviour of reactors. In addition it includes an introduction into parameter identification, error analysis, error propagation, process control, time series analysis, stochastic modelling and probabilistic design. Written as a textbook, it contains many solved practical applications. front pages and content......Page 0 chapter 1......Page 12 chapter 2......Page 15 chapter 3......Page 33 chapter 4......Page 50 chapter 5......Page 86 chapter 6......Page 110 chapter 7......Page 137 chapter 8......Page 172 chapter 9......Page 185 chapter 10......Page 216 chapter 11......Page 242 chapter 12......Page 261 chapter 13......Page 318 chapter 14......Page 363 chapter 15......Page 399 chapter 16......Page 425 literature and index......Page 459
