Course objective:
To introduce the types, characteristics, quantities and composition of waste. Implementation of a comprehensive waste management system (legal regulations, strategy and waste management plan of the Republic of Croatia). Options for disposal (thermal and material recycling, composting) and disposal of solid waste. Overview of types of remediation of waste contaminated soil.
Introduction to the effects and forms of polymer pollution, - pollution prevention, disposal of polymer waste in industry and households.
Program for conducting the course:
1. Introduction to terminology, classification and basic data of waste
2. Review of legislation, national strategy and waste management plan to implement a comprehensive system of sustainable waste management
3. Waste prevention and separate waste collection
4. Biological waste treatment (composting, MBO)
5. Thermal and material recycling of waste
6. Landfills, remediation of contaminated soil (wild landfills)
7. Partial exam
8. Types and uses of polymeric materials
9. Introduction to polymer chemistry
10. Environmental impact on properties of polymeric materials
11. Homogeneous and heterogeneous polymeric waste
12. Technologies for collection, separation and pretreatment of polymeric waste 13. Recycling processes for polymeric waste
14. Sources of hazardous waste in polymeric materials
15. Partial exam
Exercises:
Assignments will promote a consistent knowledge of regulations and an engineering approach to provide quality solutions in the treatment of specific types of waste. Mechanical recycling of polymer waste, material characterization before and after recycling.
Field work: visit to the waste management center.
Prerequisites for enrolling in the course: -
Prerequisites for attending the course: -
Development of general and specific student competencies:
Understanding of the problem, the possibility of decision making and behavior in society and economy, applying the acquired knowledge and in accordance with a comprehensive waste management system. Knowledge of the different types of polymeric waste and the technological processes and procedures for pre-treatment of polymeric materials, as well as knowledge of the technological processes and recycling procedures.
Student obligations in teaching and their performance:
Regular attendance in the lectures. Two partial exams are written during the semester. Laboratory exercises are compulsory and cannot be reimbursed. Field work, if organized, are compulsory. The results of the exercises will be entered in notebooks and all assignments must be solved positively.
Teaching methods: lectures, exercises, field work.
Type of examination of knowledge and examination:
Continuous assessment of knowledge through two partial exams at the end of the teaching units. Students who do not achieve the required score in the partial exams take the written and oral part of the exam in the regular exam period.
Method of monitoring the quality and performance of courses: Student survey
Course learning outcomes:
1. identify basic knowledge related to terminology, departments and basic data on waste, synthesis, chemical composition, structure, production, properties of polymers
2. collect and link knowledge related to technologies for solid waste treatment and disposal and recycling of polymeric materials
3. independently propose and evaluate waste treatment processes and quality control of recycled products
4. integrate legislation in the field of protection and conservation of natural components of the environment into engineering design
5. develop the ability to work independently in the waste characterization laboratory
6. develop the ability to present and interpret laboratory results independently in written and oral form
Program level learning outcomes:
1. solve problems using a scientific approach, even if incomplete or formulated in an unusual way, offering a range of possible solutions
2. formulate complex problems from new, i.e. rapidly evolving, areas
3. apply innovative problem-solving methods based on fundamental principles
4. develop design solutions for processes or their parts, including processes from new or marginal areas of chemical engineering
