Course detail

Technology of recycling of waste

FCH-MCO_ROMAcad. year: 2009/2010

The aim of course is to present basic technological knowledge about conversion and waste recovery. Course deals with following chapters: basic terms, environmental legislation, methods of analysis and synthesis of technological recycling processes, membrane processes, pyrolysis, biotechnology, bio-metallurgy, information systems. Lecture gives a survey of recycling procedures focused to paper, sludge, plastics, rubber, glass, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, construction materials etc.
