Contents
The main objective of this course is to acquire applied knowledge about environmental technologies and sustainability. Industrial and domestic activities generate pollution and have to meet the necessary tools for its prevention and control.
Descriptors
Introduction to environmental technologies. Sustainable development. Balances of extensive property, transport phenomena and operations for chemical processes and their effluents. Prevention of pollution.

Agenda
The Environmental Technology course is divided into three 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.
Mandatory practicals in the laboratories of the Department of Applied Chemistry: Evaluation of physicochemical parameters characterizing the degree of contamination of a liquid effluent.
The final mark of the course, FM, is calculated as:
FM = 0.75 x (EM) + 0.25 x (PM)
where EM is the mark of the writtwn exam and PM is the practicals mark.
If the exam mark is less than 5/10, the final mark of the course will be the one of the written exam.
