Basics of water treatment (history, requirements, drinking water ordinance, water balance, water resources, composition of water, lime-carbonic acid equilibrium) Treatment processes in water works
- Physical processes (filtration, sedimentation, gas exchange)
- Chemical processes (deacidification, deferrisation, demanganisation, softening)
- Biological processes (demanganisation, denitrification, nitrification)
- Other processes (adsorption, oxidation, disinfection)
- Micro-pollutants in the water cycle
- Water treatment in developing countries
- Sustainable concepts and integrated water resource management
- Materials and corrosion
Laboratory exercises (e.g. experiments on deacidification, precipitation or softening) Excursions to waterworks
