This is an introductory course for undergraduate
students. This course provides an overview of the
different facets of Environmental Engineering, particularly
the underlying concepts and the intended applications to
prepare a graduating engineer with the skills needed to
effectively intervene in the safeguarding of the
environment, in whatever role they ultimately play in the
ENVIRONMENTAL
society. Pollutant mobility, toxicity, and amenability to
QUALITY AND
CE214 3-0-0-0-9 treatment in the environment depend on the physical and
PROCESSES
chemical reactions the pollutant undergoes in the
THEORY
environmental systems. This course introduces
fundamental principles and processes that govern the
fate and transport of these chemicals in pristine and
polluted soil, air, surface, and groundwater
environments. The course examines the equilibrium and
kinetics of chemical reactions relevant to environmental
systems. For each reaction, the fundamental molecular
 interactions affecting the process are first examined. The
quantitative application of the reaction to environmental
behaviour is then presented.

Topics covered include acids and bases, mineral

solubility, carbonate chemistry, chemical speciation,
reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions, adsorption and ion
exchange, and the speciation, mobility, and toxicity of
metals and organic compounds. Furthermore, the theory
and application of the physical and chemical processes
of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, softening,
filtration, and disinfection in water and wastewater
treatment is presented. Principles that can be used in the
analysis and modeling of environmental engineering
processes, including material and energy balances,
mass transfer, and reaction engineering are elucidated
