required grade
L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 Written assessment tests setting out the acquired concepts (EM) 75 Recoverable through an assessment test 5/10
L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 Written assessment tests setting out the acquired concepts (PM) 25 Recoverable through an assessment test Not

In this case, 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.

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.

Up

Experimental practice program

Evaluation and relation of the physicochemical parameters that characterize the degree of contamination of a residual water.

Determination of the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)

Determination of ammonia concentration

Determination of nitrite concentration
