Text:
The objective of this graduate course is to teach basic and advanced concepts of
physic-chemical processes and their applications in water and wastewater
treatment, with an emphasis on newly developed processes such as advanced
oxidation and membrane separation.
(Note: This course will be taught in English)

Evaluation:
The student will be evaluated as follows:
Attendance: 10%
The student should attend more than 2/3 of the classes scheduled. The students
who fail to do so will receive F (or I) grade regardless of his/her performance in
homeworks and examinations.
Presentation and Report: 40%
Students will prepare and make presentation on the topics concerning current
issues of physical and chemical processes in water and wastewater treatment.
Emphasis is placed on the relation to their research work. Students will make 20-30
min presentation at the end of the semester. In addition, students will perform
literature survey on the relevant topics and submit a three-page executive summary
report.
Final Examination: 40%
Final exam will be comprehensive. Students are not allowed to bring any reference
materials to the test. All necessary tables and diagrams will be provided for
students
Note: No make-up exam will be offered unless an emergency or unavoidable cause
can be identified and approved by the instructor.
