This journal is concerned with water and wastewater treatment, water pollution monitoring, water purification, etc. It publishes the results of theoretical and experimental research covering a very broad range of topics, including the structure of water and its fundamental properties; chemical, physicochemical and biological methods of water treatment; methods of water analysis; instrumentation for monitoring water quality; and automation and control of treatment processes and systems. Its main rubrics of coverage are:
- Theoretical principles of water conditioning and treatment technology
- Physical chemistry of water treatment processes
- Analysis of natural and wastewaters
- Water treatment and demineralization technology
- Biological methods of water treatment
Many of the articles are from the Institute of Colloid Chemistry and Water Chemistry (Ukrainian Academy of Sciences), which is particularly well known for its contributions to the study of chemical and physicochemical water treatment processes, especially chlorination, ion exchange, adsorption, oxidation-reduction processes, removal of surfactants, radioactive pollutants, regenerative treatment methods, industrial wastes, etc.
