Mechanical Engineering for the Green Transition

The aim of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge and study of the applications of the main operations and processes of environmental relevance in the Primary and Secondary Raw Materials Engineering sector. Particular attention is paid to: i) the study of the parameters that influence the handling and treatment of solid materials and granular substances, both of natural origin (raw materials) and artificial, i.e. coming from waste materials and/or finished products life cycle (secondary raw materials), ii) problems relating to the minimization of energy consumption; iii) the treatment processes of this type of material, both as regards the technical and technical-economic aspects and iv) the problems of survey and assessment of the environmental and territorial impact of these activities.
