| 102-0338-01L | Waste Management and Circular Economy | 3 KP | 2G | M. Haupt, U. Baier | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Understanding the fundamental concepts of advanced waste management and circular economy and, in more detail, on biological processes for waste treatment. Application of concepts on various waste streams, including household and industrial waste streams. Insights into environmental aspects of different waste treatment technologies and waste economy. | ||||
| Lernziel | The purpose of this course is to study the fundamental concepts of waste management in Switzerland and globally and learn about new concepts such as Circular Economy. In-depth knowledge on biological processes for waste treatments should be acquired and applied in case studies. Based on this course, you should be able to understand national waste management strategies and related treatment technologies. Treatment plants and valorization concepts for biomass and organic waste should be understood. Furthermore, future designs of waste treatment processes can be evaluated using basic process understanding and knowledge obtained from the current literature. | ||||

| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | There will be complementary exercises going along with some of the lectures, which focus on real life aspects of waste management. Some of the exercises will be solved during lessons whereas others will have to be dealt with as homework. To pass the course and to achieve credits it is required to pass the examination successfully (Mark 4 or higher). The written examination covers all topics of the course and is based on handouts and on selected literature | ||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | In the Experimental and Computer Laboratory students are introduced to research and good scientific practice. Experiments are conducted in different disciplines of environmental engineering. Data collected during experiments are compared to the corresponding numeric simulations. The results are documented in reports or presentations. | ||||
| Lernziel | The student will learn the following skills: basic scientific work, planning and conducting scientific experiments, uncertainty estimations of measurements, applied numerical simulations, modern sensor technology, writing reports. | ||||
| Inhalt | The Experimental and Computer Laboratory is building on courses in the corresponding modules. Material from these courses is a prerequisite or co-requisite (as specified below) for participating in the Experimental and Computer Laboratory (MODULE: Project in the Experimental and Computer Laboratory): - WatInfra: Water Network Management - UWM: SysUWM + ProcUWM: Operation of Lab-WWTP - AIR: Air Quality Measurements - WasteBio: Anaerobic Digestion - WasteRec: Plastic Recycling - ESD: Environmental Assessment - GROUND: Groundwater Field Course Kappelen - WRM: Modelling Optimal Water Allocation - FLOW: 1D Open Channel Flow Modelling - LAND: Landscape Planning and Environmental Systems - RIVER: Discharge Measurements - HydEngr: Hydraulic Experiments - RemSens: Earth Observation and Landscape Planning - SOIL: Soil and Environmental Measurements Lab | ||||

| 860-0015-00L | Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources I | 3 KP | 2G | B. Wehrli, F. Brugger, K. Dolejs Schlöglova, M. Haupt, C. Karydas | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Students critically assess the economic, social, political, and environmental implications of extracting and using energy resources, metals, and bulk materials along the mineral resource cycle for society. They explore various decision-making tools that support policies and guidelines pertaining to mineral resources, and gain insight into different perspectives from government, industry, and NGOs. | ||||
| Lernziel | Students will be able to: - Explain basic concepts applied in resource economics, economic geology, extraction, processing and recycling technologies, environmental and health impact assessments, resource governance, and secondary materials. - Evaluate the policies and guidelines pertaining to mineral resource extraction. - Examine decision-making tools for mineral resource related projects. - Engage constructively with key actors from governmental organizations, mining and trading companies, and NGOs, dealing with issues along the mineral resource cycle. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Bachelor of Science, Architecture or Engineering, and enrolled in a Master's or PhD program at ETH Zurich. Students must be enrolled in this course in order to participate in the case study module course 860-0016-00 Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources II. | ||||
