ENE 3309 - Water Chemistry

Institution:

Central State University

Subject:

Environmental Engineering

Description:

This is an applied course in chemistry dealing with chemical reactions in water. Chemical equilibrium speciation studies - Aqueous speciation, Precipitation-Dissolution, OxidationReduction in both natural and impaired aqueous environments. Rate laws and kinetics of aquatic reactions of environmental importance ? Hardness Removal, Acid mine drainage, Disinfection. Laboratory experiments include estimation of total metals using atomic absorption spectrometer, organics using HPLC and Gas chromatograph/Mass spectrometer using EPA approved methods. Estimation of pH, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity. Colorimetric methods for estimation of chloride, nitrite, and nitrates in water. Use of a water chemistry model, MINTEQA2 to estimate species concentrations given the total metal, pH, and redox conditions. One additional contact hour for the laboratory is required. Three one hour lecture/one two hour lab. Prerequisites: MTH 2503 and CHM 1202.
