Base Knowledge
Knowledge learned in the Environmental Quality Control and Chemistry Units
Teaching Methodologies
Laboratory classes aimed at carrying out liquid effluent analyzes.
Learning Results
At the end of this course the student is expected to be able to: Identify the main physicochemical parameters characterizing a potable, superficial, recreational or residual water analysis. Acquire skills and develop experimental rigor in the experimental determination of water quality control parameters. Understand the relevance of the parameters studied in the design and maintenance of water and effluent treatment facilities.
Program
Determination of the main parameters for the characterization of a water and / or wastewater: Color. Alkalinity. Conductivity. Total iron. Total phosphorus. Nitrates, total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen. Solid content. Chemical Oxygen Demand and Total Organic Carbon.

Curricular Unit Teachers
Luis Miguel Moura Neves de CastroGrading Methods
The evaluations of the works take into account the parameters: performance / coordination of the experimental performance, quality of the results obtained and delivered on the day of the experimental performance and appreciation of the report and discussion of it.
In the evaluation of the experimental class, the following aspects will be taken into account: behavior, responsibility, team work, compliance with the rules of the laboratory and the discipline, use of class time, theoretical knowledge reviewed before the experimental performance and quality of the results.
To obtain approval in the course unit, the student must have a cumulative positive average in the 14 evaluations.
Continuous assessment for students subject to special regimes, with waiver or reduction of the minimum levels of attendance, can be replaced by practical exam or laboratory test.
