CHIMICA FISICA AMBIENTALE E LABORATORIO

Understand the concepts and methods of study of Environmental Physical Chemistry. In particular: to know the scientific basis of the concept of sustainability; thermodynamic knowledge for the study of pollutant flows; in-depth knowledge on thermodynamic dynamics and terrestrial environment; life cycle analysis, LCA; basic information on the end of life of products.

The course is organized in 4 Laboratory CFUs and 2 frontal lessons CFUs

Frontal Lessons (2 CFU):

Sustainability and environmental impact
Mass balance and kinetics
Transport phenomena - diffusion - reaction
Structure and composition of the atmosphere.
Dynamics of the atmosphere.
Thermodynamics of the atmosphere.
Models for transporting pollutants: "PLUME" and "PUFF".
Methodologies for the evaluation of energy consumption
Methodologies for the evaluation of Life Cycle Assessment

Laboratory experience (4 CFU):

Pollutant degradation kinetics
Zero Fe nanoparticles for remediation of polluting soils
Nanoparticles of oxides for photocatalysis
Numerical methods for computer simulation of transport, diffusion and reaction phenomena of pollutants
Machine-learning" methods for the management of big data resulting from environmental monitoring
Comparison of Life Cycle Assessment between standard and emerging technologies
Sensors for monitoring volatile organic compounds
