ChE
470/570
|
To develop a rounded understanding of the science, technology and regulations of hazardous waste management.
We have developed this interactive HWM Web
Site as an adjunct to the ChE 470/570 course. There are numerous resources that are
available by clicking on the target area on the top of the page. Interactivity is enhanced
by the use of comment and article submission forms for feedback and discussion. This site
contains a discussion sub-web called 
Café
Toxic.
This is a dynamic discussion area that allows for posting of lecture notes
(printable for class), when available, as well as interaction with instructors,
other students and guest lecturers. It is here that frequently asked homework
questions and answers may be posted as well as other class support information.

Additional projects/assignments reqd for grad cr. Prereq: Stat 301, sr or grad standing in science or engineering, and permission of instructor. Back to Top
This course examines the management of hazardous wastes in the United States. Following a review of the broad framework of toxic regulation, the course covers the physical/chemical properties of hazardous wastes, the treatment of hazardous wastes and technologies for site remediation. Contaminant characterization, fate and transport and treatment are covered in all environmental media - the atmosphere, surface and ground water and the soil. Special emphasis is given to site characterization, risk assessment and pollution prevention. Case studies are provided to illustrate many of the course concepts. Back to Top
This course is taught by Gregory Moller (Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology) a professor at the University of Idaho. The course has several expert guest lecturers. The course material is sufficiently diverse and broad that in the instructors' view, it is necessary to bring in an array of guest lecturers to present the advanced level of science and technology content in this course. Deena Lilya, an Environmental Engineering graduate student, will be the teaching assistant/grader for the course.
