1. Wastewater Treatment Development
Sanitizing human excreta was already addressed by the ancient civilizations while wastewater treatment development was the most visible in the 20th century. By the end of the course, you will be familiar with global drivers for sanitation and you will learn about history of wastewater treatment starting from the ancient civilisations and developments during the 18th and 19th century. Particular focus is on rapid progress during the 20th century that include the discovery of the activated sludge process and the development of the myriad of its variations, and the introduction of variety of biofilm-based technologies, addressing carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur transformations in wastewater treatment, sewage sludge treatment and options for resource recovery.
