Environmental Engineering-Chemical Processes

Environmental Engineering-Chemical Processes.

Chemical, biological and physical processes are at the root of Environmental Engineering. A critical understanding of each process is required for an Environmental Engineer to be able to critically analyze a relevant problem. The current course on chemical processes will enable a student of this course to:

 Apply equilibrium equations and material balance equations to calculate conditions in environmental systems at equilibrium using the concept of components.

 Use chemical equilibrium programs such as VMINTEQ to calculate conditions in environmental systems at equilibrium.

 Apply kinetic equations, stoichiometric relationships, and material balances to calculate conditions in environmental systems in which reactions occur that are not at equilibrium.

 Apply fundamental aspects of thermodynamics to describe equilibrium conditions in environmental systems.

 Define equilibrium and kinetic limitations as relating to environmental systems and be able to discuss the relative importance of each for chemical processes in environmental systems.

 Demonstrate knowledge of important terminology for chemical processes occurring in environmental systems.
