The student gets knowledge of alternative raw materials sources of inorganic materials.
Students gets overview of properties and utilization of high-volume secondary raw materials from the power, metallurgical and chemical industry, mineral raw materials mining wastes.

Basic knowledge of inorganic chemistry, chemistry and technology of silicates and mortars

Not applicable.

The course uses teaching methods in form of individual consultation. The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available to teachers and students.

Preparation of a project on a theme related to the dissertation topic and expert discussion on the project.

The industrial revolution and population explosion of the 19th and 20th centuries causes a gradual depletion of natural resources and the increasing volume of waste produced all kinds, many of which are actually valuable secondary raw materials. The recycling of materials (and energy) is not sufficient, the introduction of waste-free management is unpopular. The course covers comprehensive knowledge of production and the characteristics of the most important, especially large volume produced, inorganic secondary raw materials with emphasis on their industrial use.

Natural sources of raw materials, supplies and utilization, economics and ecology, waste materials versus increasing productivity. Byproducts of industrial activities, secondary raw materials, inorganic and organic, waste-free economy and landfill, waste sorting, legislation and environmental care. Large-volume produced secondary raw materials of electricity and metallurgical industries (high temperature fly ashes and fly ashes from fluidised bed combustion of solid fuels, desulphurization gypsum, blast furnace slags, steel-making slags, foundry slags, slags from production of non-ferrous metals, silica fume, casting sand), wastes from extraction of mineral raw materials (tailings, overburden ceramic raw materials). Sludge municipal wastewater treatment plants. Waste sorting and recycling (paper, metals, glass, plastics, textiles, wood waste), energy recycling, tires. Changes and cancellations of technologies, waste prevention. Conditions for sustainable development prospects for the 21st century.

Not applicable.

The course aims to provide students with comprehensive knowledge about the use of natural materials and their potential substitutes alternative materials that are byproducts of technological processes, especially in the energy, metallurgical and chemical industries.
