ENVE3231Contaminants and Pollutants Transport in the Environment4 ch (3C 1T)

Students explore the physical phenomena governing the transport of contaminants in the environment: diffusion, advection, dispersion, sorption, interphase transfer. Students learn derivation and application of transport equations in air, surface and groundwater pollution; analytical and numerical solutions, as well as equilibrium partitioning of contaminants among air, water, sediment, and biota. Credit cannot be counted for both ENVE 3231 and ENVT 3231.  

Prerequisite: (CHEM 1872 and CHEM 1877) or equivalent, and CE 2703. (All prerequisites must be passed with a minimum grade of C).
