ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY(2)

Chemistry is the central science that can be related to all other fields of science and technology. Chemists are driven to understand the fundamental behavior of matter in terms of its properties and behavior. This lecture involves fundamental concepts of chemistry. This course is designed in a way to provide more interesting and more effective ways to learn chemistry. This course aims to present concepts in a clear and sensible manner using language, analogies and in molecular approach that students can relate to. In addition to the academic knowledge on various chemistry concepts, the course contents are also useful for the students to appear for license tests, jobs at industrial levels.

 This course investigates the various sources of pollution to the soil, ground water and sediments.  Using a methodical, step-by-step presentation, this curse starts by overviewing the origin of toxicants and the correlated comparative extent of contamination to the environment.  The core part of course publication describes the major techniques for in situ or ex situ treatment of the contaminated soil by electrochemical methods.  Finally, risk evaluation is incorporated, giving special attention to possible impacts during or after implementation of the remediation strategies.

Students Should have more than 85% of the attendance. If a student comes late by 3 times, it is considered as one absent. The absence of the quiz exam cannot be reconsidered. However, in case of unavoidable circumstances (illness or injury), a separate evaluation shall be conducted.

Any student from a science background is most welcome, (preferably from biology and chemistry)

This course provides extensive knowledge on the various environmental pollutions and their state-of-the-art remediation technologies to protect the green environment and to develop new technologies to further enhance the remediation processes effectively.
