Course content
The lectures are generally directed to the subsurface contamination and remediation. First, the physico-chemical backround of pollutants distribution and transport within the subsurface is presented, followed by detailed description of the subsurface characteristics. Then the susbsurface remediation processes are described in details with special attention to soil vapour extraction, pump and treat system and bioremediation. The third part of the course is related to administrative and economical aspects of the subsurface remediation projects. The final part of the course includes practical excercises based on free available transport models.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
Students are introduced to advanced physical, physico-chemical and biological methods used in environmental protection.
Students are able to accurately identify the essence of individual operations, analyze and synthesize whole process systems in engineering terms, and are familiar with methods that enable effective transfer and interpretation of laboratory test results into industrial practice.
Prerequisites
Completed master's degree in chemistry and chemical-technology study programs.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Oral exam. The basic form of the exam is a discussion of the selected circuits.
