CVEN 5404
Understanding environmental problems; making effective use of technical information; of general applicability to environmental problems; applicable to water resource issues.
Comprehensive analysis of the chemistry of natural and polluted waters and the application to environmental engineering problems. Topics include energetic principles, chemical equilibrium, coördination chemistry, adsorption phenomena, solid phase interactions, redox phenomena, natural water models, metal pollution, dynamics in aquatic ecosystems, and biogeochemical and nutrient cycling. Computer simulations are used to illustrate more complex chemical systems.
