Description:
The Materials recycling module enables that students are knowledgeable about the environmental protection issues related to a sudden growth of industrial production. Students know hazards to the environment resulting from the fact of municipal, industrial and other waste generation. They understand the need to minimise the waste, to apply waste free or low waste technologies, to segregate the waste and to manage it. They know methods of waste use. Students are knowledgeable about issues related to the raw material, material, and energy recycling. They know management and recycling methods for such groups of materials as metals, plastics, glass, paper, construction materials and others. Owing to this knowledge students understand the need for developing the ecological awareness of the society by providing the information related to waste hazards for the environment and methods for its management again.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of chemistry, physics, and basics of materials science modules.
