Course objectives:
The application of preventive environmental strategies in the chemical and technological (manufacturing) processes, products and activities, according to the principle: cleaner production - sustainable development, in order to increase production efficiency and reduce risks to the environment and human health.

Course content (syllabus):
1st week: Introduction. Development and the environment. Important concepts. Contemporary issues in society. The objectives of environmental engineering strategy with the aim of sustainable development.
2nd week: Linking industrial activity and social sciences and environmental sciences. Assessing the impact of chemical-technological processes on the environment. Origin and distribution of pollutants in air, soil and water, global warming and the greenhouse effect. Ozone holes. Acid rain. Energy efficiency of technological processes. Natural Resources (mineral raw materials, energy). Natural and anthropogenic pollutants. Carbon, sulfur and nitrogen cycles.
3rd week: Ecologycal footprint. Carbon footprint. CO2 vs. global warming. CO2 discharge fee in the environment. Emissions and trade of emissions. Reduction of CO2 emissions. Adsorption and storage of CO2.
4th week: The basics of sustainable development. The concept and evolution of sustainable development. Principles and models of sustainable development. Indicators of sustainable development, their management and implementation.
5th week: Sustainable development components. Society. Economy. Environment. Ecological sustainability and industry. Linear and cyclical models of production. The concept of "At the end of the pipeline" (waste management) and waste treatment technology (physical, chemical and biological). The concept of cleaner production.
6th week: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). 1 Defining objectives, subjects and areas of application. 2. Life Cycle Inventory Analysis (LCI). 3. Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA). Influence category. Description, categories and indicator units of impact. Standardization. Evaluation. 4. Interpretation of results. Other LCA methods.
7th week: "Cost-benefit" analysis in environmental engineering as an indicator of proper environmental management strategy. Viewing and control of overall mass balance in industrial processes in environmental engineering.
8th week: Partial Exam
9th week: Case study.
10th week: Examples of the application of the "cleaner" production concept on certain industrial processes. Best available technology (BAT) - principles, the implementation of sustainable and similar processes for the environment.
11th week: The role of sustainable technologies in the development of new chemical-technological processes for the protection of heritage and ensure sustainable - sustainable, rather than survive development. Technological processes using industrial waste as raw material. Selected examples.
12th week: Cement production - example of sustainable technology and development. Increased production efficiency and product quality.
13th week: European Union Directives (IPPC, WID, BATNEEC, BREF) for the prevention and control of pollution in the cement industry.
14th week: Technological processes of solidification and stabilization of industrial waste materials. Test methods for new construction products with addition of industrial waste - use value. Methods of testing new products with industrial waste-ecological acceptability - leaching tests (leaching).
15th week: Partial Exam
Exercises.
Analysis and application of industrial waste as a valuable raw material for the production of new materials. Influence of waste materials on the environment (water and soil).
