Summary

Předmět je zaměřen na charakterizaci běžných typů odpadů a možnosti jejich zpracování na druhotné suroviny pomocí vybraných recyklačních technologií. Studenti se v rámci předmětu seznámí se základními pojmy z oblasti odpadového hospodářství a postupy recyklace vybraných typů odpadů, včetně možností využití druhotných surovin. Dále jsou specifikovány metody úpravy odpadů a používané separační technologie. Mezi vybrané typy zpracování běžných odpadů patří odpady na bázi nekovových materiálů – odpadní polymery, sklo, papír, textil a vybrané typy kombinovaných odpadů včetně odpadů obsahujících ušlechtilé a vzácné kovy. Dále jsou charakterizovány odpady na bázi kovových materiálů – odpady hliníku, mědi, železa, zinku, cínu a olova. Nedílnou součástí je i přehled základní legislativy z oblasti odpadového hospodářství, problematika minimalizace tvorby odpadů, cirkulární ekonomika. Na zřetel jsou brána i ekologická a ekonomická hlediska zpracování odpadů a využití druhotných surovin.
