Environmental Chemistry Syllabus for B.Tech 3rd sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Environmental Chemistry B.Tech (R13) thirdsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
- The objectives of the course are to study the basics of environmental chemistry, chemical reactions involved in water and electro kinetic properties.
UNIT I : ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY: INTRODUCTION [9 hours]
Oxidation state, redox potential – chemical equilibrium, Le-Chatlier Principle – heterogeneous equilibria – solubility product – common ion effect, – application in water treatment. Chemical kinetics – factors influencing the rate – order and molecularity (examples) – derivation of rate constant for first order reaction – time for half – change – nature of BOD reactions –Enzyme reactions, temperature dependence, catalyst.
UNIT II : CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF WATER [9 hours]
Colloids, Classification – solids in liquids – hydrophilic and hydrophobic colloids electrokinetic properties – chemical coagulation of water – Schulz Hardy rule – mechanism of coagulation electrodialysis – water purification – electro-osmosis – dewatering of sludges – electrophoresis – adsorption, Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms – Applications in pollution control.
UNIT III : ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND STRUCTURES [9 hours]
Functional groups in organic compounds and their structures (Preparation & Properties not required) – carbohydrates – classification – monosaccharides, pentoses (Xylose and arabinose) Hexoses (Glucose, galactose, mannose and fructose) – disaccharides (Sucrose, maltose and lactose) – Polysaccharides (Starch, cellulose and hemicellulose) – Structural formulae – ring structure and hydrolysis reaction only.
[TOTAL: 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES: The students completing the course will have
- an insight into the chemical reactions in water, air and soil environment.
- the ability to apply chemistry principles in analysing pollution of water, air and soil environment.
- an understanding on the fate of chemicals on the environment and suggest relevant interventions.
