| 102-0337-00L | Landfilling, Contaminated Sites and Radioactive Waste Repositories  Only for Environmental Engineering MSc. | 3 KP | 2G | M. Plötze, W. Hummel | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Practices of landfilling and remediation of contaminated sites and disposal of radioactive waste are based on the same concepts that aim to protect the environment. The assessment of contaminants that may leach into the environment as a function of time and how to reduce the rate of their release is key to the design of chemical, technical and geological barriers. | ||||
| Lernziel | Upon successful completion of this course students are able to: - assess the risk posed to the environment of landfills, contaminated sites and radioactive waste repositories in terms of fate and transport of contaminants - describe technologies available to minimize environmental contamination - describe the principles in handling of contaminated sites and to propose and evaluate suitable remediation techniques - explain the concepts that underlie radioactive waste disposal practices | ||||
| Inhalt | This lecture course comprises of lectures with exercises and guided case studies. - A short overview of the principles of environmental protection in waste management and how this is applied in legislation. - A overview of the chemistry underlying the release and transport of contaminants from the landfilled/contaminated material/radioactive waste repository focusing on processes that control redox state and pH buffer capacity; mobility of heavy metals and organic compounds - Technical barrier design and function. Clay as a barrier. - Contaminated site remediation: Site evaluation, remediation technologies - Concepts and safety in radioactive waste management - Role of the geological and engineered barriers and radionuclide transport in geological media. | ||||

| 651-4063-00L | X-Ray Powder Diffraction Maximale Teilnehmerzahl: 18 | 3 KP | 2G | M. Plötze | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | In the course the students learn to measure X-ray diffraction patterns of minerals and to evaluate these using different software for qualitative and quantitative mineral composition as well as crystallographic parameters. | ||||
| Lernziel | Upon successful completion of this course students are able to: - describe the principle of X-ray diffraction analysis - carry out a qualitative and quantitative mineralogical analysis independently, - critically assess the data, - communicate the results in a scientific report. | ||||
| Inhalt | Fundamental principles of X-ray diffraction Setup and operation of X-ray diffractometers Interpretation of powder diffraction data Qualitative and quantitative phase analysis of crystalline powders (e.g. with Rietveld analysis) | ||||
| Skript | Selected handouts will be made available in the lecture | ||||

| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The course includes a high portion of practical exercises in sample preparation as well as measurement and evaluation of X-ray powder diffraction data. Own sample will be analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. Knowledge in mineralogy of this system is essential. Software will be provided for future use on own Laptop. | ||||
| 701-1339-00L | Soil Solids Laboratory Number of participants limited to 12. Priority is given to the target groups: Master Environmental Science until October 15th,2021. Waiting list will be deleted September 23rd, 2021. | 3 KP | 4G | M. Plötze | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The main part of the course is the investigation of real samples of soils/sediments in the lab working in groups. A brief theoretical introduction into the overall principle and the meaning of physical, mineralogical and chemical parameters of soils and sediments and into each analytical method for their investigation will be given in advance. | ||||
| Lernziel | Upon successful completion of this course students are able to: - describe structural, mineralogical and chemical properties of the inorganic solid part of soils and sediments, - propose and apply different advanced methods and techniques to measure these properties, - critically assess the data and explain the relationships between them, - communicate the results in a scientific la report. | ||||
| Inhalt | Basic introduction to mineralogy and texture of soils Analytical techniques Practical exercises in sample preparation Measurement and evaluation of the data: - physical parameters (grain size distribution, surface, densities, porosity, (micro)structur) - mineralogical/geochemical parameters (quantitative mineralogical composition, thermal analysis, cation exchange etc.) | ||||
| Skript | Selected handouts will be distributed during the course. | ||||
