In Photochemical Reactors: Theory, Methods, and Applications of Ultraviolet Radiation, distinguished civil engineer and researcher Dr. Ernest R. Blatchley III delves into a comprehensive exploration of the theory, methods, and contemporary and emerging applications of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The author begins by providing a foundational understanding of the history of photochemistry and photochemical reactions, before delving into the dynamic behavior of UV-based reactor systems and the fundamental physical concepts governing natural and man-made sources of UV radiation.

The book also encompasses the numerical and empirical methodologies employed to evaluate photochemical kinetics, photobiological kinetics, and the dynamics of UV photoreactors. It discusses common and emerging applications of UV radiation, such as the disinfection of water, wastewater, air, and surfaces, as well as UV-induced transformation processes.

Furthermore, readers will find thorough introductions to methods and principles that are universal to UV processes, as well as critical explorations of the physics of natural and artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation. Practical discussions of modern applications of UV radiation, including the disinfection of water, air, wastewater, and surfaces, as well as the use of UV photoreactors to promote photolysis and photo-initiated, radical-mediated reactions, are also included.

Designed for UV professionals, academics, and scientists, Photochemical Reactors: Theory, Methods, and Applications of Ultraviolet Radiation will undoubtedly find a place in the libraries of professionals working in companies that manufacture UV reactors, as well as engineering consultants with a professional interest in this field.
