Generally, unit operation processes that are used in environmental engineering are involved in interfacial reaction where mass transfer is an extremely essential component for system optimization. The purposes of this chapter were intended to provide the information of both theoretical model development and engineering practice for mass transfer of important processes in environmental engineering. Those processes include, but are not limited to, (1) ozonation (gas–liquid process), (2) ion exchange (liquid–solid process), (3) biological activated carbon (liquid–solid process), (4) chlorination (gas–liquid process), and (5) carbonation (gas–liquid–solid process)
