Course objectives:
|
Students will become familiar with the problems of the degradation of organic matter from the perspective of environmental protection. In particular, will be discussed the principles of biodegradability of organic substances in aerobic and anaerobic conditions and advanced degradation processes such as chemical oxidation, photolysis, ozonization and photocatalysis and their application in air, water and/or soil treatment technologies. Physico-chemical, biochemical and microbiological principles of purification and operational specifics of individual technologies will be also explained.
|
Requirements on student
|
There is an oral examination. Primary form of exam is the debate about selected themes. Level of acquired knowledge, conceptions and application acquirements is examined. Knowledge is also examined by team projects during semester whose results are included into total classification.
|
Content
|
Relationship between the structure of organic compounds and their biodegradability. Basic characteristics of microorganisms (taxanometry, morphology). Overview of the most important microorganisms.
Nutrition and metabolism of microorganisms, sources of basic elements, ways of obtaining energy. Aerobic and anaerobic processes.
Physical, chemical and biological influences affecting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Growth and multiplication of bacteria (growth cycle, growth curve). Growing of microorganisms on artificial nutrient media.
Biotechnology - historical overview of the most important milestones, developmental stages. Overview of applications of the most important biotechnologies in environmental protection. New trends in environmental biotechnology research, membrane bioreactors.
Bioremediation procedures for soil contaminants removal. In situ and ex situ bioremediation.
Biofiltration of air - use of microorganisms for decomposition or biotransformation of organic pollutants.
