Course Outline / Environmental Green Technology
(III) Environmental Green Technology
The development of environmentally benign and green technology for treatment of toxic pollutants is of most urgent important because of the pressure on the reduction of emission of green house effect gases. Therefore, the goal of this series course mainly focuses on the introduction to energy-saving green technology to treat wastewaters and toxic chemicals. The development of carbon dioxide capture, storage and utilization will be introduced and discussed. Environmental nanotechnology has emerged as one of the most fascinating techniques in modern era and it can actually help solve some of environmental problems. Along with all these benefits, it is important to recognize that nanoparticles are a still relatively unknown area, and therefore their effects must be researched thoroughly as soon as possible.
