Course Objective

The aim of this course is to investigate the biodegradation kinetics of the some pollutants when they are at low concentrations in the anaerobic and aerobic environments. Furthermore, to investigate the inhibition kinetic of some toxic polutants when they are at high concentrations in the same environments

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   determine the effects of environmental pollution in ecosystems and develop clean energy-producing processes,
2   open the new subjects in the field of biotechnology and follow the scientific studies,
3   take on responsibility and solve problems in biotechnology processes
4   ensure and develop the adequacy of the use and appropriate design of fermentation conditions for mineralization and degradation factors forming product manufacturing and environmental pollution having biotechnological importance,
5   make association, cooperation and coordination between the areas such as sub-fields of biotechnology, the physics, biology, chemistry, biochemistry and the environment, food and agricultural engineering and play a role in the conduct of them
