Education and training of professionals to work independently in the fields of natural sciences, with special emphasis on physical-chemical research in the field of Environmental Engineering and the active use of modern experimental, numerical and physical-chemical methods, developing capacity for constant expansion, searching for new knowledge in the complex interdisciplinary field of Environmental Engineering.

Outcome of the course: 1. General skills: Independent observation, formulation and problem solving using modern experimental, theoretical and numerical methods. Training for the purpose of organizing and performing team research, treatment of results according to scientific principles, making optimal and realistic conclusions. The capability to search relevant literature and other forms of information; 2. Course-specific skills: Special affiliation to natural sciences from the physical-chemical field.

Introduction: Chemical thermodynamics and kinetics. The complex interactions between land, water, air and biosphere. Definition of the concept of biophysical surface. Warming of land, water and air. Precipitation and dissolution. Physicochemical processes at interfaces. Interaction between solid and liquid phases, solid and gaseous and liquid and gaseous. Basic concepts contamination of the biosphere and the processes of physical-chemical treatment. New materials, nanotechnology and nanomolecules. Molecular interactions. Supra-molecular chemistry and supramolecules. Speed and kinetics of complex reactions. Basic principles of colloid system. Physicochemical processes in the function of Environmental Engineering.

The classes will be realized in the form of lectures, seminars and homework and partial examinations - conversations with students.
