. "Fundamentals of environmental technology"@en . . "4" . "Contents:\nGeneral basic knowledge of environmental technology is refreshed and extended as a preparation for the more specific courses ETE-30306, ETE-30806 and ETE-35306. Attention is paid to phase-separation processes and chemical and biological conversion processes for the treatment of water, gases, soil and solid wastes. These processes are analysed by mass balances, which are a powerful tool to design, model and optimize treatment processes. Physical, chemical and biological aspects, including equilibrium states and conversion rates, that are relevant for the development and application of separation and conversion processes, as well as the mathematics for the analysis of mass balances are discussed. The theory is critically evaluated in a technical laboratory practical.\nLearning outcomes:\nAfter successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:\n- demonstrate the fundamental knowledge of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics necessary for the advanced master courses in environmental technology;\n- set up mass balances for chemical and biological reactor systems and separation technology;\n- integrate this knowledge to design, optimize and characterize separation devices and reactor systems." . .

"The Environmental Sciences master's programme in Wageningen has its roots in the natural, technological and social sciences. Students will gain insight into the socio-economic causes and the characteristics of pollution and degradation of the natural environment, including the effects on human beings, the atmosphere, ecosystems and other organisms. This two-year programme is based on an interdisciplinary approach. Students learn to develop analytical tools and models, as well as technologies, socio-political arrangements and economic instruments to prevent and control the wicked environmental and sustainability issues like climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion."@en . .
