- Strategies for a better environment
- Cleaner Production strategies and assessment methods
- Industrial waste treatment
- Strategies and methods to minimize waste production and resource utilisation
- Advantages and disadvantages with different technologies
- Application examples
The overall aim of the course is to provide theoretical and applied knowledge and understanding of strategies and technologies for a cleaner industrial production.
This means that after the course the student should be able to:
- Define Cleaner Production and describe scope and barriers to Cleaner Production.
- Propose and motivate Cleaner Production strategies and actions for different industrial environmental problems, based on a system perspective.
- Describe and explain how to use different unit operations as process integrated or external cleaning stages in industrial production in order to minimize pollutions of air and water and the production of waste.
- On a fundamental level describe different industrial environmental technologies to minimize pollution of air and water and discuss their advantages and disadvantages.
- Propose and motivate the choice of different environmental technical solutions for minimizing the pollution of air and water from industry and the resource utilisation and waste production.
