Environmental Chemistry
€1,320.00
The course provides an introduction to the basics and principles of environmental chemistry. This includes an
introduction to compartments, parameters and processes to
understand and to model concentrations in the environment and basic
analytical methods as well as the distributions of certain substances in
the different compartments of the environment, namely the atmosphere,
the oceans, the soil and sediments. Furthermore, the principles of abiotic degradation reactions such as hydrolysis and direct and indirect photolysis will be discussed. The abiotic part is followed by an introduction to biotic degradation in the liquid phase and bacterial metabolism and enzymatic biodegradation.
A laboratory unit focussing on the degradation of chemicals in the environment is a mandatory part of the module and will take place every year in July.
