	CHIM0011-1   Environment Chemical Engineering Duration :   18h Th, 24h Pr Credits/ECTS :   civil engineering in chemist, 3rd year 3 civil engineering in chemist (programmes for "licenciés" in chemical sciences), 2nd year 3 Holder(s) :   Michel Crine Language :   Langue française Course contents :   Application of chemical engineering concepts to analyse the operation of environmental processes. Examples of wastewater treatment processes are selected to illustrate the application of these concepts. Concept of primary, secondary and tertiary treatments. Four types of unit operations are presented : Filtration processes : deep bed filtration, crossflow and cake filtration. Settling processes : Grainy particle clarification, diffuse settling, zone settling, compression. Settler modelling : clarification and thickening. Flotation processes : Natural and forced flotation. Dissolved air flotation and electroflotation. Biological processes : General principles : heterotroph, autotroph, aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic metabolisms, catabolism and anabolism. Thermodynamic and kinetic descriptions : maintenance, growth. Main applications of biological processes. The case of activated sludge processes : modelling, design parameters. Organization :   The course is scheduled for the first quadrimester. The course schedule is available on the Internet site of the applied sciences faculty.
