Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have basic knowledge for civil engineers on:
- pollution phenomena of water, soil and air;
- the main techniques for handling, and treatment of primary water, wastewater, solid waste and contaminated soils;
- the main purification techniques for surface and groundwater.
Additionally, he will gain the ability to design treatments for disposal and reuse of wastewater, by way of an extended exercise consisting in the preliminary design of a civil wastewater treatment plant and two technical site-visits
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the course contents and the reading matter using the appropriate terminology within a final oral exam.
additionally, during the oral exam the student must demonstrate:
- in depth knowledge of the contents of the extended excercise carried out during the course;
- ability to present and discuss the design process and decisions;
- ability to discuss possible improvements and variations of the designed plant/process.
Methods:
- Final oral exam
- Written report
Further information:
The accomplishment of the extended excercise will be assessed as necessary pre-requisite for admission to the final oral exam.
The general evaluation will be performed by a final oral exam.

Syllabus
Characterization of natural water and wastewater. Main pollution phenomena of water bodies. Deoxygenation and eutrophication. Main environmental legislation in Italy and Europe.
Treatments of civil wastewater: preliminary treatments (screening, grit removal, primary sedimentation); secondary biological treatment (biological kinetics; activated sludge treatments; attached growth treatments; natural treatments; advanced combined treatments). Treatment of wastewater sludge: stabilization, dewatering, options of final destination and recycle.
Unitary water treatments and purification treatment trains for surface and groundwater: chemical oxidation, coagulation, precipitation. Adsorption. Disinfection. Sand and membrane filtration.
Solid waste management: characterization, collection, reuse and recycling, composting, incineration, landfilling, energy exploitation.
Remediation of polluted soils and groundwater: Legislation, site assessment, risk analysis, in situ - ex situ treatments.
Bibliography
Basic reading will be provided as downloadable lecture notes.
Further bibliography will be indicated.
