Advanced environmental chemistry delves deeper into the chemical processes and mechanisms governing the fate of pollutants in various environmental compartments. This includes complex interactions in natural and engineered systems, such as water treatment for human consumption and waste treatment before environmental discharge. The course emphasizes advanced chemical reactions, pollutant behavior, and the role of chemical interactions in both treatment processes and natural attenuation, providing a comprehensive understanding of pollutant dynamics and their environmental impacts.

CILO-1: Apply the knowledge of environmental chemistry including thermodynamics, kinetics, sorption, transport, aquatic equilibrium theories to solve environmental problems. CILO-2: Apply various methods and theories to analyze equilibrum conditions within environmental chemistry. CILO-3: Evaluate the complex chemical processes and interactions occurring in natural and engineered aquatic systems, such as water and wastewater treatment, to assess pollutant behavior and develop strategies for mitigating environmental impacts.
