Subject syllabus

1. Introduction. Economic evaluation of remediation technologies.
2. Technology for treating unsaturated zones and solid materials. In situ technology - biological (bioventing, bioremediation, phytoremediation and rhizoremediation).
3. Physical and chemical in situ procedures (chemical oxidation, venting, solidification and stabilization, heat treatment methods, covering, sealing and encapsulation, vitrification).
4. Ex situ - biological technology (treatment of soil and other solid materials after decontamination, composting).
5. Biostabilization and bioimobilization. Landfarming. Slurry phase system.
6. Chemical and physical ex situ methods (chemical extraction, chemical oxidation/reduction, dehalogenation, physical-mechanical separation, soil washing and solid materials, solidification and ex situ stabilization, combustion, thermal desorption).
7. Technology of groundwater and leachate purification. In situ - biological technology (supported bioremediation, biosparging, bioslurping, biotransformation, bioreduction, biological reactive barriers, atteunation).
8. Chemical and physical methods (air sparging, in situ chemical oxidation, heat treatment methods, vertical barriers, deep injection).
9. Ex situ - biological technologies (bioreactors, artificial wetlands, root cleaners).
10. Chemical and physical methods (air stripping, adsorption and absorption, chemical oxidation, precipitation, coagulation, flocculation, flotation).
11. Technology of soil air and air cleaning - biological (biofiltration).
12. Chemical and physical processes (washing, membrane separation, oxidation, adsorption, combustion).
13. Nanotechnology for remediation of ecological burdens. Principles of nanotechnology in the environmental field. Technology of contaminated groundwater remediation in situ. Examples of the use of nanotechnology in the environment.
