The course gives to the student a solid comprehensive basis concerning the actual scenario at worldwide level about the treatment of the main refuses streams, such as the civil wastewater and the municipal solid waste, also considering environmental impact mitigations. In particular, it is foreseen an examination on the actual normative scenario concerning the streams considered, which will be followed by a detailed description of the physical/chemical/biological characterization techniques actually in use for these streams. Furthermore, a module concerning respirometric approach to the management of the wastewater biological treatment process will be also carried out. Talking about in a specific way about the processes description, a complete exhaustive analysis of the unit operations connected with these processes will be given. The aspects linked to environmental concerns connected with these processes will be also discussed
Thanks to several case study ( in which monitoring methods and single operation units will be evaluated) the student will be able to perform, in full autonomy, to complete define mass and energy balances for the processes involved, as foreseen by the actual laws in terms of public realizations.
