Types of water sources, groundwater, surface, drinking, waste water: industrial, processes and municipal water.
Water chemistry: water equilibrium in the system, equilibrium of carbonates, phosphates, sulfates, cyanide, ammonia and other nitrogen compounds, Physical chemical treatment of drinking water and waste water.
Water softening, softening of calcium hardness, softening of magnesium hardness, the role of CO2 in the process of softening water, chemical species in the treated water, the advantages and disadvantages of softening.
Disinfection, methods and agents, factors affecting disinfection, chlorine disinfection, ozone disinfection, UV disinfection, the choice of optimal conditions.
Ion exchange: synthetic exchange resins, exchange reactions, exchange equilibria and kinetics of exchange, isotherms, ion selektivity and capacity, methods of operation, column design, applications.
Coagulation and flocculation: definition, stability of colloids, destabilization of colloids, selection of coagulants and flocculants, transport of colloidal particles, perikinetic flocculation, orthokinetic flocculation.
Adsorption: causes and types of adsorption, factor influencing adsorption, adsorption equilibria and adsorption isotherms, kinetics, rates of adsorption, batch and continuous,flow systems, the breakthrough curve.
Membrane processes: classification of membrane operations, pressure driven and electrical operations, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, electrodialysis, membrane module and configurations, physical chemical principles of rejection and separation models, mass transport in membrane, membrane fouling, design of membrane processes.

Learning outcomes:
1. To define water types and equilibrium chemical processes in waters.
2. To assess when and how water softening and disinfection methods should be applied.
3. To adapt physico-chemical methods of water treatment - ion exchange, coagulation, flocculation, adsorption, membrane operations.
4. To assess which physico-chemical methods of drinking and wastewater treatment to use in the real sector, e.g. in utility and water companies, and in industry.
5. To design experimental research on a laboratory and pilot scale based on knowledge of physico chemical treatment of water.
6. To recommend to water experts (water sector) the optimal option of physico chemical water treatment.
