Course Description This course explores the fundamental chemical processes governing the fate, transport, and transformation of pollutants in soil and atmospheric environments. Students will bridge chemical theory with environmental engineering challenges, focusing on soil matrix interactions and atmospheric dynamics. Key topics include soil colloidal chemistry, surface adsorption, redox equilibria, photochemical reactions, and atmospheric aerosol behavior. Through these concepts, students will develop the analytical skills to predict pollutant behavior and assess environmental mitigation strategies.

The course aims to build upon foundational chemistry knowledge and delve into the chemical behavior and transformation mechanisms of pollutants in soil and the atmosphere. The first half of the course focuses on soil chemistry, guiding students to master soil colloidal properties, cation exchange capacity, adsorption phenomena, and redox reactions, and to apply potential-pH diagrams to analyze phase changes of substances in the environment. The second half covers atmospheric chemistry, introducing the composition of the atmosphere, photochemical reactions, and the chemical characteristics of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter.


課程目標在接續基礎化學知識,深入探討污染物在土壤與大氣環境中的化學行為與轉化機制。課程前半部聚焦於土壤化學,引導學生掌握土壤膠體特性、陽離子交換容量、吸附現象及氧化還原反應,並能應用potential-pH圖分析物質在環境中的相態變化;後半部為大氣化學,介紹大氣組成、光化學反應以及氣態污染物與微粒的化學特性。
