KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Completed upper secondary education including documented proficiency in Swedish corresponding to Swedish B and English corresponding to English A. For students who received/will receive their final school grades after 31 December 2009, there is an additional entry requirement for mathematics as follows: documented proficiency in mathematics corresponding to Mathematics A.
And the specific requirements of mathematics, physics and chemistry corresponding to Mathematics D, Physics B and Chemistry A.
- The chemical tools for work in water chemistry
- An overview concepts and theories in water chemistry
- Experience of practical field and laboratory work
- Experience of work within one area of water and water treatment such as tap water, waste sewage, natural resources, agricultural environment
The course gives a basic understanding of the chemical procedures in the aquatic environment and applications to natural waters and chemical technical systems.
After having completed the course, the students will be able to:
- Describe chemical processes in aquatic environments
- Apply mathematical models to treat transport, equilibrium and kinetics
- Describe the chemistry of the atmosphere
- List the most important soil processes
- Plan and execute a water chemistry project, including theoretical aspects and the practical performance
- Summarize the water chemistry for a separate field
- Deliver a report with high demands on time keeping, transparency and structure
