Content of Learning Activity
The wastewater treatment course is introduced by a part describing the different interactions between water, soil and air, the concepts of water quality, biotic index and discharge standards depending on the type of water (urban, industrial), and the effects of water pollution on aquatic ecosystems. This part is illustrated by specific examples of aqueous pollution: nutrients, pesticides, PAHs, and metal ions (Hg, As, etc.) The main methods of analysis and characterisation of wastewater are presented. The treatment part is divided into two main sections: the urban water treatment (mainly biologically) and treatment of industrial wastewater. For urban water, primary traditional treatments (mechanical, physical and chemical), secondary (biological / chemical) and tertiary (elimination of refractory carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus) are explained, as well as some examples of sizing works for given pollution treatments. For industrial water, an operations panel is taught and specific applications are considered (petrochemical industries, surface treatment, etc.). A final part is devoted to the treatment and recovery of sludge. There will also be some studies of industrial wastewater treatment (treatment of waste water in textile, chemical, surface treatment, etc.).
