AimsToggle Navigation
1. To be able to use the basic models for the dispersion of air pollutants and to understand the air quality monitoring networks.
2. To understand pollution treatment methods and to be able to select the most suitable one in each situation.
3. To know the technologies to prevent or correct water and soil pollution.
4. To be able to design physical-chemical purification methods for gaseous effluents.
TemaryToggle Navigation
Lesson 1. State of the environment in the Basque Country
UNIT I: WATER
Lesson 2. Water pollution
Lesson 3 Potabilization of water
Lesson 4. Wastewater treatment
UNIT II: AIR
Lesson 5. Air pollution
Lesson 6. Dispersion of air pollutants in the atmosphere
Lesson 7. Treatment of gaseous effluents: gases and vapours
Lesson 8. Treatment of gaseous effluents: particle separation
UNIT III: SOIL AND WASTE
Lesson 9. Soil pollution
Lesson 10. Soil remediation
Lesson 11. Municipal solid waste management
- Laboratory practice:
Practice 1: Water treatment by adsorption with activated carbon
Practice 2: Analysis of the absorption column for CO2 sequestration
Practice 3: Particle separation using a cyclone
Practice 4: Sedimentation tank
Practice 5: Energy production through solar and fuel cells
- Field practice:
Visits to water treatment plants: Araka (drinking water treatment plant, DWTP) and Crispijana (wastewater treatment plant, WWTP)
MethodologyToggle Navigation
- Lectures to explain the basic principles of each lesson
- Classroom practice to solve problems
- Laboratory practice
- Problem-solving seminars: the students, working in small groups, will solve a proposed exercise
- Field practice
Assessment systemsToggle Navigation
- Tools and percentages for grading:
Laboratory practice: 20% (exam in the computer room)
Final exam (theoretical-practical): 80%
Problem-solving seminars: additional mark (maximum of 10 %)
- Opting out of the ordinary sitting
Failure to appear at the final exam on the official date of the ordinary sitting will automatically mean opting out of that sitting, which will lead to the grade of Not Sat.
Compulsory materialsToggle Navigation
Lesson notes, lists of exercises, tables and graphs, calculator, practice scripts.
Students must wear a laboratory coat during the laboratory practice. Moreover, students must bring a laptop during the laboratory practice (at least one for each group).
