Course Objective

Water chemistry,that places special emphasis on the chemistry of natural and polluted waters and on the applied chemistry of water and waste water treatments. It provides a comphrensive coverage of thr dilute aqueous solution chemistry of acid-base reactions, complex formation, precipitation and dissolution reactions, and oxidation-reduction reactions. This course is primarily for students who are currently working in environmental or sanitary engineering, much of its contents should also prove to be of value to chemists, biologists, ecologists, and geochemists. The materials in this course has been satisfactorily taught to advance undergraduates and first- level graduatesstudents in environmental engineering with one year of elementary chemistry as a backgraund.
