Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS AT PROVIDING THE STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS USEFUL TO BOTH (I) THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF DIFFERENT POLLUTED SITES AND (II) THE SUBSEQUENT PROPOSITION OF TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE REMEDIATION.
1.KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
IDENTIFICATION OF THE LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK.
COMPREHENSION OF: I) THE TECHNICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED TO SOIL CONTAMINATION PHENOMENA; II) THE TECHNICAL PROCEDURE FOR THE CARACHTERIZATION OF A POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED SITE; III) THE MAIN REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE PROCESS OPERATION AND ITS FEASIBILITY.
2.APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
AQUIRE ADEQUATE SKILLS TO: I) IDENTIFY A SITE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS; II) DEVELOP THE CHARACTERIZATION PLAN FOR A POTENTIALLY CONTAMINANTED SITE, SO AS TO DEFINE ITS CONCEPTUAL MODEL; III) DESIGN REMEDIATION INTERVENTION ACCORDING TO THE CONTAMINATED SITE CHARCATERISTICS.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS
BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A SITE AS WELL AS THE MOST ADEQUATE TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE THE SANITARY-ENVINROMENTAL RISK ASSOCIATED TO THE CONTAMINATION.
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS
BE ABLE TO WORK IN GROUPS, ELABORATE AND DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF A CHARACTERIZATION PLAN, IMPROVING THE TECHNICAL LANGUAGE.
5.LEARNING SKILLS
BE ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNICAL OPTIONS IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE.
Prerequisites
BACKGROUND ON SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT.
Contents
1. INTRODUCTION TO SOIL CONTAMINATION AND RELATED PROBLEMS.
2. CHARACTERIZATION OF SOIL POLLUTANTS
3. ITALIAN REGULATION FRAMEWORK FOR SOIL REMEDIATION
4. ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF POTENTIALLY POLLUTED SITES ACCORDING TO ITALIAN REGULATION: OBJECTIVES, SITE CONCEPTUAL MODEL; SAMPLING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MATRICES; PROCESSING OF RESULTS FROM ANALYTICAL DETERMINATION.
5. RISK ASSESSMENT
6. METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR POLLUTION ISOLATION.
7. REMEDIATION TECHNIQUES (E.G., SOIL VAPOUR EXTRACTION, BIOVENTING, AIR SPARGING, BIOSPARGING, SOILFLUSHING, PUMP AND TREAT, IN SITU OXIDATION, PHYTOREMEDIATION, COMPOSTING, LANDFARMING).
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE DEVELOPS THROUGH BOTH LECTURES AND EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM. DESIGN PRACTICES ARE COMPLEMENTED WITH THE NECESSARY EXPLANATIONS OF METHODOLOGIES AND THEORETICAL CRITERIA.
DURING THE COURSE A GROUP HOEWORK DEALING WITH THE ANALYSIS OF A SEPARATE COLLECTION SYSTEM IS DEVELOPED.
TECHNICAL VISIT AT OPERATING TREATMENT/DISPOSAL PLANTS ON THE REGIONAL TERRITORY ARE ALSO SCHEDULED.
Verification of learning
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE AN ORAL JOINT PRESENTATION OF THEIR RESPECTIVE (WORKING-GROUPS) HOMEWORKS AND A SUBSEQUENT INDIVIDUAL ORAL EXAME ON LECTURES RELATED TOPICS.
