learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Üliõpilane omab teadmisi jäätmekäitlusalastest direktiividest EL-is ja Eesti jäätmealasest seadusandlusest; Teab põhilisi puit-, tekstiili- ja plastjäätmete mehaanilise töötlemise seadmeid ja tehnoloogiaid. Teab põhilisi puit-, tekstiili- ja plastjäätmete keemilise töötlemise meetodeid; Omab ülevaadet üldlevinud puit-, tekstiili- ja plastmaterjalide sh. tootmisjääkide taaskasutustehnoloogiatest. Omab teadmisi taaskasutusmeetodite tehnilis-majanduslike külgede analüüsiks ja toote valmistustehnoloogia valikuks; Oskab rakendada teadmisi taaskasutatud materjalist toote füüsikalis-mehaaniliste ja tehnoloogiliste omaduste määramisel ja analüüsil.
Omab ülevaadet puidu-, tekstiili- ja plastijäätmetest tahke jäätmekütuse valmistamise tehnoloogiatest ja energiakasutuse põhilistest seadmetest.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
Student obtains general knowledge about waste management directives in EU and waste acts in Estonia. Student knows main processing equipment and Technologies for mechanical reprocessing of wood, textile and plastic wastes. Students can orientate in main chemical recycling Technologies of wood, textile and plastic wastes. Student has an overview technical and economic aspects of wood, textile and plastic materials recovery technologies. Student is capable of putting into practice the knowledge about testing of mechanical and technological properties of secondary raw materials and recovered products. Student gains knowledge about processing of solid recovered fuels and resin derived fuels as well as briquettes and pellets from wood, textile and plastic wastes for energy recovery.
