Annexure ‘CD – 01’ FORMAT FOR COURSE CURRICULUM Course Title: Soil Pollution and Solid Waste Management Course Code: Credit Units: 04 Course Objectives: To understand the processes of weathering and soil formation, to know the geological and climatic factors influencing soil formation, soil pollution by waste, to understand the remedial measures of soil pollution. L T P/S SW/F W TOTAL CREDIT UNITS 04 - - 4 04 Pre-requisites: M.Sc. in any discipline Student Learning Outcomes: On successfully completion of this course, the students will be able to: Develop an understanding of process of soil formation. Students can effectively explain the insecticide toxicity on soil and impact on its fertility. Assess the problems and formulate the strategies of waste management. Knowledge will be gained on designing and operation of engineered landfill areas and all rules and regulation related to it. Student can develop the correlation between soil pollution and solid waste management and can develop the strategies for its management. Course Contents/Syllabus: Weightage (%) Module I Weathering and Soil Formation: Weathering of Rock, Soil formation, soil profile, Influence of geological, climatic and biological factors for soil formation, Pedogenic evolution, distribution of soil 15% and soil fertility. Module II Structure and Properties of Soil: Structure and chemistry of soil, clay minerals in soil, mobility of nutrients, trace elements in soil, effects of modern agriculture on soil chemistry. Physio-chemical properties of soil, soil organic matter, micro-organism in soil, decomposition of organic matter in soil. 25% Module III 20% Soil Pollution and Remedial Measures: Toxicity of soil by the application of insecticides, fungicides, weedicide and synthetic fertilizers. Metal toxicity, Industrial discharge , Oil contamination, Nuclear waste contamination, Different soil pollution remedial techniques, Case studies related to soil pollution. Module IV 25% Waste Management: sources and nature of waste, Municipal solid waste: classification and composition, management, disposal in landfills and MSW Rules in India. Hazardous Waste (HW) - Sources, categories, and issues involves in transboundary movement of hazardous waste, Management and disposal of HW, HW Rules in India, Biomedical and Electronic Waste Management and disposal. Module V 15% Waste to wealth: Waste transformation through aerobic, anaerobic composting and Energy recovery (Refuse Derived fuels, Incineration, Pyrolysis, and Plasma Technology); Carbon Credit in waste management, Case studies related to it.
