Environmental Chemistry II: Chemical Transport and Distribution | 3 (3-0-0-0-0) |
A continuation of CH 303 with an emphasis on fate and transport of environmentally important species. Course will further develop the understanding of the complex interactions that occur in the environment. Study of chemical distribution among phases and general transport of chemical species in the environment including advective/dispersive transport and fugacity. Study of Surface Waters including transport models, air-exchange, redox chemistry, biodegradation, kinetics, and photochemistry. Study of Subsurface Waters including groundwater movement, chemical transport, NAPL, and biodegradation. Study of the Atmosphere including structure, adiabatic lapse rate, atmospheric circulation, plume modelling, and deposition processes. Prerequisites: (Chemistry 303 [C- minimum grade required] or CH 493 [C- minimum grade required] ) and 2nd year standing required |
