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 written 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.
