Abstract

Description and design of physical, chemical and biological processes and process combinations in drinking water and wastewater treatment.

Objective

Understanding of critical water quality parameters in water resources and wastewater and process engineering knowledge for the removal of drinking water and environmental hazards. The aims of the lecture are basic understanding of mainly physico-chemical water treatment processes, design and modeling tools of single processes and process combinations.

Content

The following processes and process combination will be discussed in detail: Gas transfer Particle characterization Sedimentation Flocculation Filtration Membrane processes Precipitation processes Chemical oxidation and disinfection Ion exchange Activated carbon adsorption Process combinations wastewater Process combinations potable water
