Agenda
The Environmental Technology course is divided into four thematic units:
Unit 1. Characterization and treatment of contaminated water.
Unit 2. Pollutants and air pollution control.
Unit 3. Management of municipal and industrial solid waste.
Unit 4. Environmental management tools in the industry.
Mandatory practices in the laboratories of the Department of Applied Chemistry: Evaluation of physicochemical parameters characterizing the degree of contamination of a liquid effluent.
The evaluation criteria of this course will include:
There will be a final exam that will count as 50% of the final mark. Each of the students will have to do a written work, the evaluation of this work and of the oral presentation will count as 25% of the final mark.
Participation in the practices and evaluation of the written works about the practice will count as 25% of the final mark.
