Civil & Environmental Engr: Phys/Chem Proc Water/Wstwater

Theory of physical/chemical processes for treating waters and wastewaters; reactor dynamics, mass transfer, adsorption, ion exchange, precipitation; project-based. Prerequisite: Graduate student or Instructor permission; content knowledge of water and wastewater engineering (such as CEE 3510 or CEE 3515) assumed.

Prereq: Graduate standing or instructor permission, Content knowledge of water and wastewater engineering (CEE 3510 or 3515) assumed; Open to Degree and PACE students Design Elective (Civil); BioGeoChem Elective (Env); Tech Elective (Civil, Env);

This course provides the theory and applications of physical/chemical treatment processes for water and wastewater treatment systems. Specifically, engineering applications of mass balance to physical and chemical processes, including reactor residence time analysis, Gas transfer, adsorption, granular media filtration, and membrane filtration. The goal is to provide a theoretical understanding and the interconnectedness of various chemical and physical unit operations used in water and wastewater treatment systems. Students will use the concepts to better understand the design and operation of engineered water and wastewater treatment systems. Pre-requisite: CE151

All students are expected to attend class in person
