Industrial Wastewater Treatment

ABOUT THE COURSE: Industrial wastewater treatment is a very unique course and it deals with the advanced processes for treatment of Industrial Wastewater. These processes are not covered during the conventional wastewater treatment courses. The course encompasses processes like removal of heavy metals, adsorption, ion exchange, membrane process, and advanced oxidation processes. The course covers detailed description on the wastewater treatment of industries like Distillery, Dairy, Tannery, Pulp and Paper, Textile and Dye, Fertilizer, Refinery, Pharmaceutical, Iron & Steel (Coke Ovens) and Mine Wastewater including Acid Mine Drainage (Coal Washeries).INTENDED AUDIENCE: B.Tech./M.Tech/PhD -Civil, Environmental Engineering studentsPREREQUISITES: Environmental ChemistryINDUSTRY SUPPORT: Related to Industries like Distillery, Dairy, Tannery, Pulp and Paper, Textile and Dye, Fertilizer, Refinery, Pharmaceutical, Iron & Steel (Coke Ovens) and Mine Wastewater including Acid Mine Drainage (Coal Washeries).
