Advanced Treatment of Industrial Wastewater (250669) – Course 2023/24 PDF
Syllabus
Learning Objectives
CE01 - Apply scientific concepts to environmental problems and their correlation with technological concepts. CE08-Dimension unconventional systems and advanced treatment and raise their mass balance and energy. Explore scientific concepts and technical principles of quality management of the receiving means, atmosphere, water and soil, and applied to problem solving. Explore scientific concepts and technical principles of management and treatment of gaseous emissions, water supply, sewage and waste and remediation techniques for groundwater and contaminated soils. Sized systems for the treatment of major pollutants vectors in specific sectors of activity. Interprets rules, identifies goals, assesses technical alternatives proposed unconventional solutions and priority actions. Characteristics of effluents from the main industrial sectors. Advanced oxidation processes. Processes Fenton. Photocatalysis. Ozonation. Photochemical Processes. Wet oxidation. Processes coupled. Advanced Biological Processes. Membrane Bioreactors (MBR). Sequential biological reactors (SBR). Fixed bed reactors. Biocilindros and biodiscs. Mobile fixed bed. Granular anaerobic reactors fixed and expanded bed. Combined systems. New treatment techniques and use of sludge. Control systems treatment plants. The objectives of the course are to enable students to evaluate the quality of a wastewater depending on the characterization parameters. Select and design the treatment process depending on the quality of wastewater, the destination of the treated water (landfill, recycling, reuse) of the rules and other conditions as the waste taxes. Do the basic design of a wastewater treatment plant of Industrial effluents. Manage the sludge produced in the sewage treatment plant. Learn to manage wastewater treatment plants by physicochemical processes and by biological process. Relate the major operating problemes with the causes that produce, and learn the changes to be intruced in the purification plant to solve these problems.

Teaching Methodology
The course consists of 3 hours per week of classes in the classroom (large group). It lectures dedicated to a total of 22 hours in a big group, in which the teacher explains the concepts and basic raw materials. Engaged a total of 8 hours (medium group), to solve problems with more interaction with students. Performed exercises to consolidate the learning objectives and general specifics. The other 15 hours in total, 9 are devoted to lab work, and 6 h. to assisted works . We employ support material in the form of detailed syllabus by the virtual campus Atenea content, programming and evaluation activities directed learning and literature. Although most of the sessions will be given in the language indicated, sessions supported by other occasional guest experts may be held in other languages.
Grading Rules
The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.
The rating will be obtained from the continuous assessment marks and corresponding laboratory . Continuous assessment consists of different activities, both individual and group training and additive nature, carried out during the year (in the classroom and outside of it) . The evaluation tests consist on issues associated with the concepts of the course learning objectives with regard to knowledge and understanding, and to one year of application.
Test Rules
Failure to perform a industry visit or continuous assessment activity in the scheduled period will result in a mark of zero in that activity.
Office Hours
Any day from Monday to Friday after agreement on date/hour taking into account availability. Any day Monday through Friday, by E-Mail
