Learning Outcomes
Course that integrates the knowledge acquired in the courses related to it and structuring each of the three major areas of the environment, TRAREG and TRRESO, and also in the LAMBIE1 and QUIMOT courses. It aims not only to apply end-of-pipe treatments to effluents/wastes/soils, but also to value them, from the point of view of the implementation of the circular economy. The specific objectives are:
OBJ1?To integrate knowledge and skills previously acquired in TRAREG and TRRESO UCs, proposing and executing the most appropriate physical-chemical, thermochemical and/or biological processes for the treatment of an effluent/residue/soil
OBJ2?To identify and apply analytical methods to adequately characterize an effluent/residue/soil
OBJ3?To plan and perform experimental work (eg. factorial planning)
OBJ4?To prepare technical and scientific reports, criticizing the results
OBJ5?To analyze the results (within the respective legal framework)
OBJ6?To communicate the results obtained, and act in team
