12-720 Water Resources Chemistry

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course provides a rigorous yet practical basis for applying the principles of physical chemistry to understanding the composition of natural waters and to the engineering of water and wastewater treatment processes. Topics covered include chemical equilibrium and kinetics acidbase equilibria and buffering solid precipitation and dissolution oxidation and reduction reactions adsorption on solids and computeraided problem solving. The primary objective of the course is to be able to formulate and solve chemical equilibrium models for complex aqueous systems. Knowledge of collegelevel general chemistry is assumed.
