Educational Goals

The teaching course is aimed to present a description of the advanced technologies for drinking water and wastewater treatment and to give appropriate instruments for a critical evaluation about the applicability of these technologies. The description and analysis of appropriate technologies for developing countres will be presented too.

Content

Advanced and innovative processes and technologies for the treatment of water for human consumption, urban and industrial wastewater, municipal and industrial solid waste and liquid waste.
Appropriate processes and technologies for water and waste treatment in resource-limited countries.

Extended Syllabus

Municipal and industrial wastewater:
Membrane Biological Reactor (MBR), Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR), advanced system for wastewater treatment with immobilized biomassa, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), integration of AOPs and biological processes, disposal of hazardous pollutants (mass balance), criteria for sludge minimization in wastewater treatment plant, rainwater treatment.

Drinking water:
advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), membrane filtration (micrfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, electrodialisys), ionic exchange, non conventional adsorbents (green sand, manganese dioxide, etc.), biological processes. Technologies for the removal of specific pollutants: arsenic, fluoride, ammonia, nitrate, organic micropollutants, etc.

Municipal and industrial solid waste and liquid waste:
advanced technologies for liquid waste treatment; advanced technologies for the stabilization and solidification of industrial wastes; advanced technologies for the recovery of industrial waste. Liquid waste treatment.

Appropriate technologies:
Environment problems in developing countries; basic knowledge of environmental sanitary engineering; criteria and strategies for planning and designing appropriate solutions; examples of appropriate technologies application in developing countries for water, wastewater and solid waste treatment and disposal.
