TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTION

Academic Year 2022/2023 - Teacher: ALBERTA LATTERI

Expected Learning Outcomes

The course of Technology for Environmental Protection, aims not only to introduce the students to the principles of green sustainable chemistry and to the knowledge of the main environmental problems linked to industry, but also to provide the instruments for a correct environmental impact assessment and the correct process of different recycling procedures, in order to develop a sustainable industry

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.

Course Structure

Frontal and intermediate tests will be provided to evaluate the knowledge level of the students during the course development

Learning assessment may also be carried out on line, should the conditions require it.
