| Objectives of the Course: | As the population and industrial activities increase, the environmental pollution also increases. As the amount of wastes increase, new methods and technologies are necessary. The students will learn the current and innovative techniques in solid waste management |
| Course Description: | The major aim of this course is to give the students an overview of the current and innovative techniques in solid waste management. Emphasis is put on solutions applicable in developing countries, while ethical aspects are also covered. Contents of this course are; introduction to integrated solid waste management. Physical, chemical and biological properties of waste, physical transformations (shredding, separation, compaction, …), thermal-chemical transformations (incineration, gasification, pyrolysis, …), biological transformations: aerobic and anaerobic processes, sanitary landfills, typical waste treatment processes, selectively collected of household waste, selection of some typical industrial waste streams. |
| Learning Outcomes: | 1. Recognize the type of the waste
2. Get information about hazardous waste
3. Get idea for the new treatment techniques
4. Can choose the efficient method for different types of wastes |
