Course content
|
The course shows main principles in a concept of Circular Economy, this means effective use of raw materials, their regeration and recyclation which leads to waste minimization. Production transformation also brings new possibilities by substitutuion of toxic raw materials by their non-toxic (or at least less toxic) alternatives. This course offers both management and technological views of circular economy. Also, ways of minimization of environmental impact of industrial production are discussed. This shows technological solutions for environmental protection, e.g. flue gas cleaning or wastewater treatment. Environmental policy such as life cycle assessment is also topic 1. Introduction to environmental protection, terminology, circular economy, environmental policy, ISO 14000 2. Environment in history, natural state of the environment, pollution, anthropogenic pollutionglobal and local environmental problems 3. Gas material flow, flue gas treatment, desulphurization, denitrification, deccarbonization, dust separators, energy gypsum as byproduct 4. Liquid material flow, water management. Water treatment, Wastewater treatment methods - biological, physico-chemical, Rain water use 5. Degradable material flow, aerobic and anaerobic methods of waste treatment. Hydrogen production 6. Waste management, recyclation as source of material, clean production, voluntary tools of environmental protection 7. Circular economy: Material loop, material recyclation and regeneration 8. Circular economy in steel production 9. Circular economy: Waste to energy, hazardous waste treatment, decontamination 10. Excursion
