Applications to hazardous waste. Fundamental principles and processes for physical, chemical, and biological treatment of wastes including mixing, flocculation, sedimentation, stripping, aeration, sorption and leaching. Some experiments required. ENGR 341 AND ENVE 510. Characterizing waste sites, application of physical, chemical, biological corrective actions, site restoration.
Case studies illustrate corrective action and site restoration.
Fundamental principles for mathematical modeling and analysis of environmental contaminant's fate and transport in lakes, rivers, estuaries, and groundwater. Fundamental principles, design, and operation of aerobic and anaerobic biological waste treatment processes. Design and application of small, dispersed systems emphasized. Continuation of transport phenomena with emphasis on heat transfer. Conduction, convection, and radiation will be covered.
