Green Industrial Engineering for Sustainable Development

The course aims to provide a basic and general knowledge of environmental processes in the atmosphere, water and soil through the definition of the exchanges of pollutants between the various environmental systems. In particular, the main sources of pollution will be described (origin of the pollutant and its transformation in the environment) and the subsistence mechanisms of the pollutants produced in the air, water and soil and the interactions between them. The principles of sustainable chemistry will also be addressed with examples of Green chemical processes. The student will have the opportunity to know the typical mechanisms of environmental chemistry, increasing his sensitivity towards the different forms of pollution, the interactions with the animal and vegetable world and the danger to human health. The notions acquired will allow him to address more specific issues in the continuation of his training, integrating the knowledge acquired in the course with other more detailed and related to defined areas
