Course content
Week 1: Legislation of water and gas emissions. Definition of quantities characterizing pollution. 2nd week: Water management of the pulp and paper industry (I WWTP, II WWTP). 3rd week: Mechanical cleaning, biological cleaning, sludge management - examples of the technology of specific treatment plants. Aerobic and anaerobic wastewater treatment in the pulp and paper industry, types of treated wastewater. 4th week: Measuring and dosing equipment at the WWTP. Physical-chemical and chemical methods of wastewater treatment. Week 5: Principles of wastewater treatment plant design. Week 6: Overview of the pulp and paper industry's environmental protection strategy (new bleaching processes, recycled fiber, cost comparison). Week 7: De-inking - an overview of current technologies. Week 8: Recycling and the environment - definition of terms. Individual types of recycling and their application for paper and similar lignocellulosic materials. Week 9: Paper recycling and the effect of the number of turns on the quality of secondary fiber. The relationship between the degree of paper recycling and the content of multiple recycled secondary fibers in the sludges of papermaking mixtures. Week 10: Water recirculation in the pulp mill and its technological, economic and ecological importance. Week 11: Water recirculation in the paper mill and its technological, economic and ecological importance. 12th week: Recirculation of sub-mesh water in a paper machine - state of knowledge (influence of dissolved, colloidal and undissolved substances on the technology and final properties of paper). 13th week: Mathematical modeling of water recirculation dynamics during paper production.
