OUTLINE CONTENT OF THE COURSE / MODULE:
Introduction and sources of polymer waste (plastics, rubber, textiles, packaging). Overview of organization system of waste management. Advantages and disadvantages of polymer waste management. Waste characterization methods, waste pretreatment procedures. Overview of; waste collection systems, technology of waste sorting, grinding, milling and washing of polymer waste. Technologies of recycling; material recycling (mechanical and chemical processes), energy recovery by incineration.
Characterization and Classification of Wastes, Hydraulic Cement Systems for Stabilization, Solidification, Organic Polymers for Stabilization, Solidification, Other Binders for Stabilization, Solidification, Interactions Between Contaminants and Binders, Additives for Enhancement of Stabilization, Solidification, Microstructure of Stabilized, Solidified Waste Forms, Transport and Leachability of Contaminants in Stabilized, Solidified Waste Forms, Testing and Performance Criteria for Satbilised, Solidified Waste Forms.
DESCRIPTION OF TEACHING METHODS
Teaching methods individually adjust to the student: lectures and / or consultations, the possibility of laboratory work.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MANNER OF PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS
Preparation of an independent seminar paper by preparing literature overview related to a topic of scientific or professional interest for a student. Written knowledge test.
LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF COURS
