Description

Basic thermodynamic and kinetic concepts are extended in this course to enable analysis of complex aqueous systems typical of surface water, ground water and marine environments. The principles of acid-base behaviour, solid dissolution and precipitation, complexation, oxidation and reduction and interactions at solid surfaces are presented such that problems pertaining to natural system behaviour, water quality degradation and water and wastewater treatment can be coherently addressed. A problem solving approach is emphasised.
