[shikha]

Ok, here I am providing you the syllabus of Water Technology and Nanomaterials of Engineering Chemistry of Visveswaraya Technological University

VTU B.Tech Engineering Chemistry syllabus

Water Technology and Nanomaterials:

Water Technology: Introduction, boiler troubles with
disadvantages & prevention methods-scale and sludge formation,
priming and foaming, boiler corrosion(due to dissolved O2, CO2 and
MgCl2). Determination of DO, BOD and COD, numerical problems
on COD. Sewage treatment: Primary, secondary (activated sludge
method) and tertiary methods. Softening of water by ion exchange
process. Desalination of sea water by reverse osmosis & electro
dialysis (ion selective)..

Nano Materials: Introduction, properties (size dependent).
Synthesis-bottom up approach (sol-gel, precipitation, gas
condensation & chemical vapour condensation processes). Nano
scale materials- carbon nano tubes, nano wires, fullerenes,
dendrimers, nano rods, & nano composites.
10 hours

Course outcomes:
On completion of this course, students will have knowledge in:
• Electrochemical and concentration cells. Classical & modern batteries
and fuel cells.
• Causes & effects of corrosion of metals and control of corrosion.
Modification of surface properties of metals to develop resistance to
corrosion, wear, tear, impact etc. by electroplating and electro less
plating.
• Production & consumption of energy for industrialization of country and
living standards of people. Utilization of solar energy for different useful
forms of energy.
• Replacement of conventional materials by polymers for various
applications.
• Boiler troubles; sewage treatment and desalination of sea water, and
• Over viewing of synthesis, properties and applications of nanomaterials.

Question paper pattern:

• The question paper will have ten questions.
• Each full Question consisting of 16 marks
• There will be 2 full questions(with a maximum of four sub questions)
from each module.
• Each full question will have sub questions covering all the topics under a
module.
• The students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full
question from each module.
