Course content
This course is meant to provide a detailed understanding of chemical quality of natural water. Topics are selected based on the specialization of the student and can include redox conditions in water, solid-solution interfaces, carbonate system, buffer capacity of natural waters and dissolution and precipitation reactions in relation to water quality. Emphasis will be made on understanding of the chemical concept and their application in research based projects.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: The candidate should have in-depth knowledge of theory and chemical principles used for the evaluation of water quality in water and wastewater treatment. The candidate should be able to consider the application of chemical concepts in research projects and contribute to the development of new theories and methods in the field.
Skills: The candidate should master important chemical concepts related to aquatic chemistry and apply these to specific needs. The candidate should be able to use these skills to perform research at a high international level. The candidate should be able to assess the work of others on the same level.
General competences: The candidate should be able to use knowledge from the discipline for scientific assignments and projects, and to publish research results in recognized national and international channels.
Learning methods and activities
The course is divided in 5-6 concentrated seminars if there are 5 or more students. If fewer, individual teaching will be offered. A report on a given topic will have to be written by the student and presented orally.
