This course examines the needs for water quality and how to achieve it by drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, and other water-quality control strategies. The emphasis of the course is on principles and theory, it will also cover major catalytic reaction systems involved in water treatment.
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Explain fundamental water chemistry.
2. Identify the parameters that characterize the constituents found in potable water and wastewater.
3. Recognize the common physical, chemical and biological unit operations encountered in treatment processes.
4. Illustrate the fundamentals of water and wastewater treatment. 5. Understand catalytic systems in wastewater treatment.
Recommended Prep: The course presumes basic knowledge in chemistry, physics, and mathematics at high school level.
