Type of studies	Title
Master Academic Studies	Water Treatment and Safety Engineering (Year: 2, Semester: Winter)

General information:

Category	Scientific-professional
Scientific or art field	Environment Protection Engineering
ECTS	6

- Acquiring the necessary knowledge in the field of existing alternative and advanced separation processes in water treatment - Acquiring the necessary knowledge in the field of designing water treatment plants with alternative and advanced separation processes

After completing the course and passing the exam, the student will be able to: - Specify and understand advanced and alternative technological processes and operations that are nowadays applied in water treatment technology. - Implement alternative separation processes into a water treatment design solution.

Specific pollutants of water environments. Review of conventional and alternative separation processes. Removal of organic and inorganic pollutants by various alternative sorption processes. Alternative adsorbents. Operating modes of adsorbers. Reactor types. Improved membrane processes. Reverse osmosis. Electroflotation. Electrocoagulation. Electro-oxidation. Advanced oxidation processes. Phytoremediation. Photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Advanced biological processes in water treatment. Phosphorus recycling from wastewater. Application of algae in water treatment. Floating wetland ecosystems. Different future perspectives of water treatment, remediation and recycling.

Lectures. Computing exercises that are based on specific practical problems solving and designing of the equipment for the separation of pollutants from waste streams. Students with supervision collaborate in the groups to design technical solutions for wastewater treatment plants with alternative treatment technologies; Individual and group consultations. During the semester, students are required to attend lectures and computing classes. After successfully realised examination prerequisites, students take the final exam in written (computing part) and oral form (theoretical part). Written part of the exam can be quarterly taken through the two colloquiums.
