Waste treatment and valorization

Objectifs

At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain:

- the legal and usual definitions of wastes in France. Waste  characterisation

- the strategies  for waste control

- the principles of unit operations and processes commonly used in waste (gas effluent, wastewater and solids waste) reduction, treatment or valorisation (chemical, biochemical and thermal processes).

- the principles of the French methodology for polluted soils risk assessment, the basis of soil treatment processes.

The student will be able to:

- identify basic rules and policies for an environmental problem, and use it to define a technical problem or to propose an adapted solution

- quantify the dispersion of air pollutants from industrial sources

-  determine the valorisation potential for an industrial waste (or gas effluent or wastewater)

- select and design processes for air pollution control and for the treatment or valorisation of industrial water and solid wastes

- understand the risk assessment report of a site
