BMEVEKFM204

National and international activities with respect to environmental programs. "Clean" technologies. EU directives, tendencies, regulations. Clean air projects, activities, processes. Classification of air pollutants, intervention places, exhaust reduction. Water quality control, physico-chemical treatment of waste waters, WAO, stripping with air or steam. Clean technologies, supercritical solvents and processes. Membrane processes, case studies. Catalytic processes, working mode of catalysts, kinetics, catalyst preparation, testing, modification, catalyst poisons, catalytic reactors, economics of catalytic processes. Catalytic processes in environmental technologies, automotive catalysis, fuel-cells, hydrogen and methanol economy. At the practices the students get individual tasks, get acquainted with the chosen topic, carry out measurements, evaluate them and finally report about their results in written and oral form.
