It is recommended that the course Enginyeria del Medi Ambient has been passed.
The main objective of this course is to provide the basic concepts on the management, recovery and treatment of solid waste and treatment of gaseous emissions into the atmosphere from industrial sources.
This general objective includes:
Topic 1. Waste prevention and minimisation
Topic 2. Municipal waste
Topic 3. Industrial Waste
Topic 4. Definition of the scientific and technological bases of solid waste recovery and treatment operations in the urban and industrial field: I. Biological treatments
Topic 5. Definition of the scientific and technological bases of solid waste recovery and treatment operations in the urban and industrial field: II. Thermochemical treatments and finalists
Topic 6. Characteristics of industrial emissions from the atmosphere. Scientific and technological bases of gaseous emission treatment operations.

Sessions will be distributed between theory classes, problem classes and classroom seminars.
Theory classes: in these sessions theoretical knowledge will be applied to the resolution of problems and/or practical cases posed by the teaching staff as collected in each teaching unit.
Classroom practices: they will be carried out in coordination with the theory classes. They will include the realization of problems, assessable activities and the development of a case study that will be worked on throughout the semester. The teacher will mark the results to be presented and achieved each week. In these classes, the case study method is also applied, in which the student has to solve illustrative exercises in which they have to apply the concepts developed in the theoretical part.
Seminars:In these sessions, a predetermined topic will be dealt with through the exchange of partial information with the students, the collective analysis of this information and the consequent debate. Seminar attendance is mandatory for carrying out classroom activities.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Scheduled evaluation process and activities
The subject consists of the following assessment activities:
The minimum grades to be able to pass the subject are:
Failure to participate in any of the assessment activities will result in a zero. In order to pass the subject through continuous assessment, a minimum grade of 4.5 must be obtained in the exam (calculated as the weighted average of the two midterms) and a minimum grade of 5 in the overall average of the subject.
If these requirements are not met, the student may take a retake exam (a synthesis exam of the entire subject). The grade obtained in this exam will replace the previous exam grade (average of the midterms) in the calculation of the final grade.
In order to attend the retake, the student must have previously been assessed in continuous assessment activities equivalent to 2/3 of the final grade.
Scheduling Assessment Activities
At the beginning of the subject, groups will be formed to carry out the work and the evaluation activities will be scheduled to be carried out during class hours.
The exams will be held according to the schedule set in the Bachelor's Degree examcalendar.
Recovery process
For the recovery process it is exclusively for those students who have not passed the subject from continuous evaluation.
Qualification review procedure
For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated where students can review the activity with the teaching staff. In this context, complaints may be made about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the teaching staff responsible for the subject. If the students do not take this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.
Ratings
Honors (MH). Granting a grade of honours is the decision of the teaching staff responsible for the subject. UAB regulations indicate that MHs can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or higher than 9.00. Up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled can be awarded.
Students will be considered non-assessable (NA) if they have not taken the first midterm or the retake exam.
Irregularities: copying and plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, irregularities committed by students that may lead to a variation in the grade of an assessment act will be graded with zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, deception, allowing copying, etc. in any of the evaluation activities will imply failing it with a zero.
Evaluation of repeating students
Students who repeat the subject will not be evaluated differently from the rest of the students.
Single Assessment
Students who have taken the single assessment modality will haveto take a final test, where the content of the entire subject will be evaluated. The exam grade must be at least 5.0, and will account for 60% of the grade. On the same day of the exam (which will be held on the same day that the continuous assessment students are evaluated inthe 2nd midterm) it will be necessary to submit the work corresponding to the practical cases (previously assigned by the teaching staff), and will have the same weighting explained before for the continuous assessment. The seminars are compulsory with the same assessment as those of continuous assessment. If the final grade does not reach 5.0, the student will have another opportunity to pass the subject through the retake exam that will be held on the same day as the retake exam for the rest of the students.
