While new developments in microscopy, genomics, nanotechnology, sampling, and modeling permit increasingly revealing investigation into flocculation processes and floc structure, there is still a fundamental lack of knowledge related to many aspects of this phenomenon. Presented by a prominent team of international experts, Flocculation in Natural and Engineered Environmental Systems takes a unique perspective. It melds together the natural sciences and engineering as they relate to this central phenomenon. In doing so, the authors present the full range of sampling, handling, analytical, and interpretive options for operational management of natural and engineered systems. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
