	(Eng.) Novel Oxidation and UV Processes for Water Decontamination
Offering Dept	Engineering
Course Type	Elective	Credits	1	Teacher	Undefined
Department	Engineering	Language	English	Semester	2026-FALL
Course Description	This graduate course provides an in-depth examination of cutting-edge oxidation chemistry and UV-based treatment processes for the decontamination and disinfection of water. Emphasizing recent mechanistic research, the course covers the generation and reactivity of novel oxidants, advanced oxidation and reduction processes (AOPs/ARPs), and UV-driven transformations at wavelengths ranging from conventional 254 nm to emerging sources such as 222 nm far-UVC. Students will explore fundamental radical and non-radical pathways, structure–reactivity relationships, process kinetics, and the translation of molecular-scale mechanisms into engineering-scale treatment performance. Real-world case studies drawn from current contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) highlight the evolving landscape of innovative chemical and photochemical water treatment technologies.

This course equips students with a mechanistic understanding of novel oxidants and UV-based processes used for water decontamination and disinfection. Students will learn the fundamental chemistry driving radical and non-radical pathways, interpret kinetic and mechanistic data, and assess how water matrix conditions influence treatment performance. Through integrated case studies, students will apply these insights to evaluate advanced oxidation and UV technologies for contaminant removal and microbial inactivation.
