CHE 461 - Fate and Transport of Pollutants in the Environment

Institution:

New Jersey Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisites: Math 222, Chem 235 or Chem 360, ChE 363 or CE 320. The overall objective of this course is to introduce students to concepts, mechanisms, and models used to describe the transport of chemicals in the environment. Two of the most important parameters in mass transport are the driving force or concentration gradient and the transport mechanism. Methods for defining these parameters are discussed during the first six weeks of the class. Concepts and models presented in the first six weeks are applied to air-water, sediment-water, and soil-air interfaces during the rest of the term. The semester ends with a group project, where students are asked to apply material from the course to resolve a comprehensive problem.
