| Description of the modifications to the Q3 2019-2020 online assessment procedures (Covid-19) |
| Thee exam of Q3 will be oral, via TEAMS. An oral exam, 80% of the AA grade, will be based on the presentation of a dossier written in English and based on a reference scientific paper, and completed by a bibliographic research concerning the subject (a minimum of 5 scientific paper must be cited). It will be posted on the Moodle platform 8 calendar days before the exam. The grade for personal work in the laboratory: quality of laboratory work, reports; considered work of the year, is carried over from session Q1 for a weighting of 20% of the final grade of the AA. |
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.).
