Workshops will be performed in groups of about 3 students. During each workshop session, each group will work on their own task.
Workshop tasks will include:
- degradation of dye in the water using ozonisation
- sampling of solid waste and determination of particular matter content during this process
- determination of waste composition using X-ray fluorescence
- determination of ecotoxicity using bioluminescence bacteria (Vibrio fischeri)
- electrochemical degradation of pharmaceuticals in water
