Obiettivi formativi
On the basis of the learning of the proposed solutions and technologies the student will be able to evaluate the impact load that is originated from a specific human activity, and to fix the instruments that must be adopted for the containment, by considering performances, applicability, project criteria, costs, results. The knowledges that must be acquired are directed to the definition of a multi-disciplinar approach to the establishment of solutions for impact limitation, by evaluating for the different tools that could be considered the best use in a perspective of integrated resolution.
Programma
Object of the course is the description of the systems that, by using characteristic methodologies of an engineer approach, are able to lead to the environmental sustainability of human processes: on the basis of the knowledge of the origin of the phenomena that must be regulated and also of the evaluation of the tools that can be used, the different solutions able to lead to a containment of impact are presented. In particular the intervention technologies for primary waters and wastewater, for residuals treatment, for limitation of emissions are presented. Also different approaches useful for environmental protection are introduced, with reference to the adoption of prevention policies, the use of economic and financial tools, the fixation of rules. The course is a part of a whole formation way, that is directed to evaluate the possibilities for the technological control of the quality of the environment and the right use of the resources, with particular focus on process and plant aspects.
Economic and normative tools for the realisation of limitation solutions Clean technologies, modification of industrial processes, intervention on raw materials and on the employed resources. Physical, biological and chemical processes applied to solid, liquid and gaseous residues Formation of urban solid wastes, prevention, different collection systems, reuse and recycle Treatment of urban solid wastes: separations, composting, anaerobic digestion, thermal utilisation, landfill Treatment of industrial wastes, valorisation, destruction, segregation Principles for atmospheric emissions limitation, planning solutions, scenarios for modification of processes and plants Global water cycle Selection of primary sources, characteristics for water supply Primary water treatment: aeration, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, adsorption, chemical treatments Hypothesis for reuse and recycle for non-drinking water Treatment of wastewater: physical, physico-chemical, chemical, thermal operations Generation of residuals and sludges in primary and waste waters Principles and operating conditions for biological oxidation and nutrients removal Generation, treatment and final destination for sludges deriving from biological operations
Modalità d'esame
Modalita di esame: Prova scritta (in aula); Prova orale facoltativa; Elaborato scritto prodotto in gruppo;
Exam: Written test; Optional oral exam; Group essay;
... In order to verify the apprehension of the presented arguments and the capacity to arrive to practical applications, a traditional exam in written and oral form is used. In general to the student in the written exam two main arguments are proposed, and as concerns these arguments some questions concerning theoretical basis for the technologies or possibilities of application are asked in order to verify the maturity level that from the student has been obtained. The written exam lasts 75 minutes and the maximum mark is 30. The oral is facultative and consists in one question on the topics examined during the lessons. By means of the oral it is possible to add/decrease until 3 points. The final mark takes into account also the group works performed during the lesson period. An excellent judgement in the group work may add until 2 points to the final mark. Without the existence of the group work it is not possible to give the exam. The final evaluation is based on the apprehension capacity that has been demonstrated, on the quality of presentation, on the demonstration of the acquired capacity to apply to specific practical cases the general indications that are introduced.
Testi di riferimento
In account of the quite low complexity of the arguments that are introduced during the course, and from the other side by considering the high application meaning and the constant technological evolution of the presented schemes, it doesn’t seem convenient to indicate a specific textbook, able to be a specific reference basis for the exam preparation. In order to know more, for all the presented arguments there is a very large bibliography, with different level of deepening and different treated arguments; this bibliography can be suggested to the students for an higher comprehension or a more extended analysis of the arguments that are introduced during the lessons or the exercises.
