Knowledge of Hydrochemistry, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Technology

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Assessment of knowledge takes the form of an oral examination of the topics mentioned in the course of the subject.
There is no controlled education, lectures are optional.

Aims

Students build on the knowledge gained in the bachelor study in the subjects: Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Technology, Hydrochemistry and will gain an overview of the currently addressed topics in current technologies for wastewater treatment.
Students should acquire new up-to-date technological procedures in the field of wastewater treatment. Emphasis is placed on discussions with students in solving practical problems they may encounter in given technologies.
