Those established in general for the Degree
This subject is taught in the fourth year of the Degree and consists of a single subject that will be taught in the second semester. The student who has access to this subject has a great background in Chemical and Environmental Engineering and only needs to make their knowledge more practical. In this sense, the objective with which it is proposed is to provide the chemical engineer in training with the necessary knowledge to assess the environmental problems of solid waste and contaminated soils, addressing aspects of: Regulations and applicable legislation; Collection systems, transfer and transport of solid waste; Technologies for the treatment of solid waste and contaminated soil; Basic dimensioning of waste treatment systems and contaminated soils
