After successful completion of the course, students are able to perform simple but important chemical and biological tests in both the field of water chemistry and the assessment of wastewater treatment plants.
Experimental course in the laboratory of the institute focussing on the following topics:
Neutralization; pH-measurement using different methods; Tillmann's equilibrium; chemical water- and wastewater analysis: adsorption to activated carbon; flocculation and precipitation; detoxification of heavy metals and cyanids.
Demonstration of advanced analytical technics (UV, AAS, ICP, HPLC etc.), microscopy and characterisation of activated sludge; stabilization of sludges, oxigen uptake measurements for carbon and nitrogen metabolism; measurement of the oxigenation capacity of aeration equipment.
Practical work in the chemical laboratory
Highly recommended for students considering a master's thesis in the field of water/wastewater
The registration takes place in TISS. The number of participants limited. Exercises are blocked.
Submission of a report on the measurements and tests carried out
Participation in the lecture 226.037 Biology and Chemistry of Water Quality Managementis recommended
