Summary

The course is focused on new alternative technologies that offer advantageous ways of removing and recovering hazardous substances from the environment. Biosorption and bioremediation are becoming increasingly important as alternative technologies for removing contaminants (heavy metals, problematic organic compounds) from the environment. It offers an effective, non-destructive and inexpensive way to remove contaminants. Emphasis is placed not only on explaining the principles of individual alternative methods but especially on the possibilities of their use in practice.
