COURSE DESCRIPTION
Protection of water, soil and air. Biological treatment processes of waste streams. Bioremediation of waste streams released into the environment (in-situ and ex-situ). Physiology, growth conditions and metabolism of microorganisms. Selection of microorganisms for the removal of organic, inorganic and toxic compounds from waste streams. Characteristic physical and chemical, and biological and ecotoxicological indicators. Wastewater treatment with activated sludge, biological filtration, SBR systems and membrane bioreactors. Bioremediation of groundwater and leachate. Composting and bioremediation of solid waste under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Use of natural and selected mixed cultures. Adsorption and biosorption of pollutant gases generated during biodegradation of waste streams. Kinetics of biological processes. Reactor selection, analysis, optimization and process control.

TEACHING METHODS: Lectures and/or consultations, seminars.

EXAMINATION METHODS: Seminar papers and oral examination.

MONITORING OF THE COURSE QUALITY AND SUCCESSFULNESS: Student Survey


LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. To distinguish the sources and causes of pollution having in mind the preventive approach to environmental protection
2. To distinguish microorganisms and microbial processes responsible for waste streams treatment and environmental bioremediation
3. To classify features and application range of the basic types of biological reactors
4. To select the appropriate type of the reactor with respect to the characteristics of the waste stream, the features of the process, the reaction rate and operating conditions
5. To recommend an acceptable biological treatment process in dealing with environmental engineering problems set by the project design task referring to sustainable development
