ENVE 6022 - Atmospheric Chemistry and Monitoring

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

The students will learn the fundamentals of atmospheric chemistry through known air pollution problems, such as the regional ozone problem, the stratosphere ozone depletion, acid deposition and the global warming and cooling effects. The monitoring of important atmospheric species will also be discussed. Topics included: 1. Introduction (1 session) 2. Organic chemistry overview (3 sessions) 3. Atmospheric photochemical reactions in the troposphere The chemical Kinetics (2 sessions) The basic ozone formation reactions (PSSA) (3 sessions) The nonmethane organic compounds (ROO radicals) (2 sessions) The biogenic hydrocarbons (2 sessions) The photochemistry of other species (1 session) 4. Chemistry of the stratosphere (CFCs) (9 sessions) 5. Aqueous-phase atmospheric chemistry (SOx, NOx) (3 sessions) 6. The climate change (carbon balance) (1 session) 7. Green engineering design and sustainability (1 session) 8. Introduction to MOPAC for chemical structure analysis (1 session) Midterm Exam (1 session), final exam in the exam period
