Overview
The course is aimed to provide insights on the applications of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in environmental remediation as well as associated benefits and risks. The course in mainly based on the processes of nanocatalysis and nanofiltration, and the application of these for the treatment of polluted waters and air. The course relies on handson laboratory exercises in nanomaterial synthesis, characterization and testing.
The course is organized as an intensive 2-week course, including 16 academic hours of lectures, 16 academic hours of seminars as well as 4 academic hours of laboratory work. Several laboratories for the characterization of nanomaterials will be used throughout the course.
The self-sufficient work will include the report on laboratory assignment, preparation of course work (paper analysis) and preparation to the exam (verbal). The course work must be compiled and sent back to the teacher maximum 2 weeks after leaving KTU.
The evaluation is on a pass/fail basis (graduation on the Lithuanian 10-scale may be obtained if necessary).
