This course will involve the principles and applications of advanced water treatment technologies. Students in this course will learn about gas transfer, advanced oxidation processes, reductive processes, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, pressure-driven membrane processes, and forward osmosis. Students will learn about the applications of those advanced technologies, understanding their challenges and gaps. Emphasis will be placed on mechanism analyses and potential applications. Students will get training in mechanism exploration, novelty development, comprehensive review writing, and oral presentation. (3.0 credits: term course delivered in one 12-week semester, 3 hours/week) PREREQUISITES: Graduate students in science and engineering must have a strong background in Applied Chemistry for Civil Engineers to take this course. In addition, students should have previously taken undergraduate courses in water treatment and environmental chemistry.
