Learning outcomes
To be capable of selecting and designing the technologies for the treatment of polluted liquid and gaseous streams.
Course contents
Introduction: the evaluation of the plant and operational cost of treatment plants.
The characteristics of urban and industrial wastewaters. Unit operations for treating wastewaters: preliminary operations; sedimentation; flotation; coagulation and flocculation; aerobic and anaerobic biological treatments; control of nitrogen and phosphorous.
Atmospheric pollution. The main atmospheric pollutants. Particulate pollutants: technologies for the control of the their emissions. Gaseous pollutants: technologies for the control of the their emissions.
Readings/Bibliography
The instructor will provide a
copy of the slides shown during classes and other material on the
topics covered during the course.

Teaching methods
Lessons in the classroom with projection of slides. Resolution of exercises consisting in the design and rating of plants for the treatment of polluted effluents.
Assessment methods
The exam consists of 2 written tests: one relative to the treatment of wastewater and one relative to the treatment of flue gases.
The exam is aimed at verifying the attainment of the didactic goals:
- capacity to design/verify equipments for the treatment of wastewater and flue gases
- capacity to identify the most suitable equipment for the
treatment of wastewater or flue gases in a specific case
study
Teaching tools
The slides will be available on the AMS campus website ( http://campus.unibo.it/ ) some days before the presentation of each topic during the course.
