CEE 7317 - Environmental Organic Chemistry
Credits: 3
Examines the fundamental processes that govern transformation of organic chemicals in natural and engineering systems. The course is divided into three parts: organic chemistry overview, physical transformations of organic compounds, and organic chemical reactions in the environment. The organic chemistry overview provides knowledge regarding basic properties of organic compounds such as nomenclature and structures. Physical transformation of organic compounds provides an understanding in processes (such as sorption and volatilization) that control the distribution of organic chemicals between different phases (such as air, water, and soil). Environmentally mediated reactions (such as hydrolysis and photolysis) that control the breakdown of organic chemicals are the focus of chemical reactions.
