GEOL 4290 - Contaminant Geochemistry
Provides students with knowledge of the chemical principles and processes involved in the generation and movement of contaminants. It will give students an understanding of the sources, fate, and chemical behavior of some of the most important classes of chemical pollutants.
Requisites: GEOL 4270 and Sr
Credit Hours: 3
OHIO BRICKS Capstone: Capstone or Culminating Experience
General Education Code (students who entered prior to Fall 2021-22): 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes: - Apply chemical equilibrium and kinetics concepts to the solution of problems involving gases, water, soil and sediments.
- Know how solid waste is disposed and the effects of landfills and incinerators in the environment.
- Know how sorption and cation exchange reactions affect the concentration of contaminants in soils and sediments.
- Know the chemical principles and processes involved in the generation and movement of contaminants.
- Know the more important metallic contaminants and their effect in the environment.
- Know the more important non-metallic contaminants and their effect in the environment.
- Understand how contaminants are transported in air and how gaseous contaminants accumulate indoors.
- Understand how contaminants are transported in surface and ground water and the biochemical processes affecting its fate.
- Understand the origin and effect of organic contaminants in the environment.
- Understand the origin and effect of radioactive contaminants in the environment.
- Understand the sources, fate and chemical behavior of some of the most important types of chemical pollutants.
