CEE 5321 - Physical and Chemical Processes and Treatment

Credits: 3

Introduces waste minimization techniques and objectives, and thoroughly reviews chemical equilibrium and chemical reaction kinetics. Design and analysis equations and procedures are rigorously derived for chemical reactors and physical unit operations. The treatment objectives examined include 1) solids-liquid separation accomplished by coagulation and flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, flotation, and solids handling processes; 2) immiscible liquid separation brought about by emulsion-breaking chemicals and gravity and flotation oil-water separators; 3) phase and species transformations through pH neutralization, chemical precipitation, chemical oxidation and/or reduction, air stripping, and solidification and/or stabilization; and 4) solute separation and concentration achieved with activated carbon absorption, synthetic ion exchange resins, and membrane separation techniques. Prerequisites: CHEM 1303 , CEE 2304 , CEE 2342 , and MATH 3313 .
