Physical-chemical treatment processes for the treatment of water, including sedimentation, flotation, filtration, coagulation, oxidation, disinfection, precipitation, adsorption, and membrane treatment processes. Current issues in drinking water quality and treatment are discussed.

CILO-1: Identify key points in academic articles on contaminants' transfer and conversion and discuss in an oral discussion. CILO-2: Summarize and explain the major features of design unit processes for drinking water treatment scenarios typically encountered. CILO-3: Analyze the impact of economic, environmental, and sustainability constraints on the design of the water treatment process. CILO-4: Create solutions that establish the relationships between various environmental parameters and treatment process-related parameters for the purpose of optimizing the treatment approach.
