Topics: 1. Introduction - classification of remediation methods according to the contaminated environment (rock environment, unsaturated zone, groundwater and surface water, mine water, air) and according to the type of contamination. 2. Classification of methods according to principles: physical, chemical, biological. 3. Methods of decontamination of rock environments and soils. 4. Methods of groundwater decontamination (remediation). 5. Physical remediation methods (pump & treat, vacuum methods, membrane processes, thermal methods). 6. Chemical methods - classification. 7. Chemical oxidation and neutralization methods. 8. Chemical reduction, sorption, permeable reactive barriers, nanoFe methods. 9. In-situ biological methods. 10. Selection of suitable remediation methods according to the type of contamination, location, and subsequent use of the area. 11. Environmental remediation process - risk analysis, remediation itself, monitoring, remediation modeling, post-remediation monitoring. 12. Industrial wastewater treatment methods. 13. Municipal wastewater treatment methods. 14. Drinking water treatment methods - new water contaminants and legislation.

Learning outcomes
|
The course will focus on providing an overview and explanation of the principles, advantages, and disadvantages of individual methods for remediating contaminated environments and purifying water. In addition to explaining individual methods, emphasis will be placed on demonstrating practical applications of these methods in specific cases of contaminated environment remediation and water purification methods. For a better understanding of the context of remediation work, students will take the course Environmental Law, where they will learn about the broader context and legislative requirements for remediation work and parameters for water discharge into the environment. To place the course in a broader context, it is also advisable to take the course Agroecosystems and Ecosystem Services. The exercises will deepen students' knowledge through practical examples and will focus on solving specific cases in a group of students ? selecting appropriate remediation methods, calculating remediation measures, and optimizing methods.
Learning outcomes: The student understands the concept of remediation methods and methods for purifying various types of water, including practical applications. The student understands the basic processes of individual methods and their advantages and disadvantages. The student is able to assess the use of individual methods in practice and demonstrate the rules using simple examples.
