Course objectives: This course aims to investigate the fundamental concepts leading to the understanding of what happens to a pollutant once it is released into the environment. Here, knowledge required for environmental engineers to effectively assess pollution, evaluate control and remediation strategies will be provided.
Catalogue description: Fundamental concepts regarding the fate of a pollutant once released into the environment. Classification of pollutants, equilibrium partitioning between gaseous, liquid and solid phases: vapor pressure, solubility in water, air-organic solvent, air-water partitioning, organic liquid-water partitioning, sorption, solid-water distribution, partitioning to living media. Abiotic and biotic transformation processes: hydrolysis, redox and photochemical reactions, biodegradation. Transport of pollutants and modeling concepts. Case studies.
