- To introduce the basic knowledge, engineering competencies and academic skills on data analysis in the field of engineering necessary protection of water, air and land, to the students. - To train students in using modern methods of experiment design. - To develop knowledge about green and low-cost technologies used in the separation treatment of waste streams. - To introduce the basic principles of the adsorption process, as well as the process of synthesis and practical using of an alternative adsorption media, to the students. - To train students in using chromatography and spectrophotometry in order to quantify residues of pollutants before and after the treatment. - To train students in successful processing and analysis of experimental data.

After completing the course and passing the exam, the student will be able to: 1. Analyze data on water, air and soil contamination. 2. Plan experimental research. 3. List and describe the green and 'low-cost' technologies used in waste stream treatment. 4. Use instrumental methods (chromatography and spectrophotometry) as a tool for the quantification of of residues of pollutants. 5. Process and interpret experimental results. 6. Apply alternative adsorption media for the treatment of waste streams.

Analytical methods. Green and 'low-cost' technologies used in waste stream treatment. Instrumental analysis as a tool required for the quantification of residues of pollutants before and after the treatment of waste streams. Chromatography. Spectrophotometry.

Lectures. Laboratory and Computing Practice. Consultations – individual and group. During the semester, students are required to attend lectures, laboratory and computing classes. After successfully realized examination prerequisites, students take the final exam in written (computing part) and oral form (theoretical part). Written part of the exam can be quarterly taken through the two colloquiums.
