Theories and applications of physical and chemical principles to water and wastewater treatment processes in engineered systems. Major processes include coagulation and flocculation, precipitation, adsorption, ion-exchange, sedimentation, filtration, membrane processes, and oxidation and disinfection.
Applications of chemical concepts in the context of environmental science and engineering. Topics covered include physical chemistry (chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, equilibria), inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry (organic chemistry, biochemistry).
Stepwise development and process design, equipment selection, economic evaluation, layout, and operating guidelines for wastewater collection and treatment systems.
