WATER CHEMISTRY

CIVENGR 704

Fundamental molecular processes that govern the fate and transformation of organic contaminants in natural environmental systems and engineered treatment processes. Emphasizes the kinetics describing these processes and focuses on transformation mechanisms of organic contaminants in aquatic systems. Specific topics include partitioning between air, water, and solids; chemical kinetics; substitution, hydrolysis, and redox reactions; oxidation reactions encountered in ozone and chlorine-based disinfection systems; and photochemical and biological transformations. Knowledge of water chemistry [such asCIV ENGR 500] required.

CIVENGR 609

Topics vary.

CIVENGR 501

Principles and applications of chemical and instrumental methods for the chemical analysis of water.

CIVENGR 722

Principles of general, physical, equilibrium, colloid and biochemistry applied to environmental engineering processes such as evaluating environmental quality and treating water, air and soil to meet environmental standards.

CIVENGR 703

A quantitative treatment of chemical and biological processes controlling the speciation and partitioning of inorganic compounds in natural waters. Particular attention will be paid to heterogeneous reaction mechanisms, and kinetics controlling inorganic compounds in aqueous environments. Discuss in-situ techniques for measurement of environmental reactions. For those interested in environmental chemistry, chemistry, limnology, geology, environmental microbiology, soil science, and environmental modeling.
