The student who will exhibit a regular attendance of the course will be able to participate in group work intended to develop and strengthen soft skills such as: the ability to work in a group, the ability to dialogue with colleagues from different backgrounds,the ability to write a scientific/technical report and the ability to present one's work.

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide students with:
- The principles of sustainability and circular economy applied to Environmental
Protection
- the theoretical aspects and design criteria of innovative tertiary processes for the
treatment of industrial wastewater
- Basic and advanced knowledge on the characterization and treatment of contaminated
sites (land reclamation and groundwater treatment)
- The chemical-physical fundamentals of the design of units for the treatment of
industrial and hazardous waste, aimed at the recovery of material and energy

Educational objectives

The course aims to broaden the skills in the theory of complex systems with particular reference to the non-linear dynamics of chemical and biochemical reactors. It also provides a critical approach to numerical techniques for dynamic analysis leading students to the development of algorithms and their translation into computational codes using high-level programming languages (e. g. Fortran, C ++, etc.).

Educational objectives

Principles of Green Chemistry
Objectives
• To learn the fundamental philosophy and tools of green chemistry
• To develop an awareness of the legislative, financial and social factors connected with reducing environmental impact
• To understand the importance and role of solvents in chemical and related processes
• To understand why solvent replacements are being sought
• To understand the importance of heterogeneous catalysis to green chemistry
• To recognise the key difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis in chemical processes

Application of Green Chemistry to Process Engineering
Objectives
• To use real examples to illustrate how the principles of green chemistry can be applied to chemical process engineering.
• To study the changing trends in raw material utilisation and to understand the potential of alternative feedstocks.
• To study engineering methods for improving process efficiencies and sustainability.
• To calculate the mass and energy balance in a chemical production process
• To learn about the importance of energy efficiency and the range of energy sources
• To understand the role between energy pollution and climate change
• To understand how biomass can be used as a feedstock for future production industries

Commercialisation of Green Chemistry
Objectives
• To understand the potential for and difficulties in achieving the use of greener chemical products.

Educational objectives

What is intended to be transferred as training objectives are the basic knowledge of the principles on which the analysis of the potential environmental impacts related to the production processes of the products and the growing problem of impacts on the environment is based. The above will be analyzed from the point of view of the different types and classes of materials in consideration of the volumes of use and the growing demand for energy involved in their production. A further objective of the course is to transfer to the students the approach of designing production processes and design choices aimed as much as possible at an evaluation of choices that allow a greater "circularity" of the resources used and a lower impact on the environment. . All this through an integrated vision between resource, contained energy and impact of production through the study and knowledge of the LCA philosophy.

Educational objectives

The basic units of a microfluidic circuit are analyzed, namely
micromixers, micro heat exchangers, and separation units. Background on
the constitutive relationships governing molecular transport of
momentum, mass and energy, and their use in local and macroscopic
balances constitute the incipit of the course. Emphasis is focused on
the interaction between mass and momentum transport and externally
imposed electromagnetic fields (electroosmotic and magnetohydrodynamic
pumps). Analytical solutions derived for simple geometries are used as
a paradigm to orient the design of real world devices, the performance
of which is established through commercial software.
