The course focuses on advanced unit operations and processes used in water treatment, wastewater purification, soil remediation, and flue gas treatment. Students will learn about the principles of mechanical separation, membrane technologies, adsorption and absorption processes, chemical and biological reactors, and the transport of contaminants between phases in various environmental matrices. The course also covers the hydraulics of flow systems, microbial growth kinetics in bioreactors, and the principles of mass and energy transfer in environmental applications. Emphasis is placed on understanding the governing mechanisms of individual processes and their application in the design and optimization of environmental technologies.

To be awarded credit, the student must submit 4 continuously assigned chemical engineering tasks in the field of environmental technologies. The exam has a written part (calculations, minimum 50% points) and an oral part (discussion of independently developed tasks, one theoretical question) Last update: Bartáček Jan (19.05.2025)
