The Faculty of Environmental Protection Technology (FTOP) focuses on the issue of environmental protection. In 2019, FTO gained 2nd place in the "Faculty of the year" in the Chemistry category.
When studying at FTOP, students focus on natural science and technical subjects, thanks to which they will not get lost in the scientific or industrial sphere. The common basis with all faculties in the bachelor's fields will give students a broad general knowledge in the field of chemistry and technology, extended by the subjects of their specialization. In subsequent master's programs, students already devote themselves to their field according to specific requirements and interests. Emphasis is placed on both theoretical knowledge and practical connections, whether in our laboratories or on practice in the industry.
It is also possible to teach the master's program in Sustainability and Environmental Engineering in English or international cooperation with other European universities on the master's program IMETE or a double doctorate with universities in Belgium and France.
Graduates of our faculty find employment in various branches of industry, for example, chemical or petrochemical, and a wide range of employment is also found in the field of environmental protection. We also have graduates in analytical laboratories, inspection and control bodies, state administration, and research. Last but not least, it is worth mentioning that they are employed in project and consulting organizations or as technologists, specialists, or environmental managers. Notable graduates include, for example, Milan Smrž, author and co-author of dozens of professional publications and patents and vice-president of the European association EUROSOLAR, which strives for the complete replacement of fossil and nuclear sources with renewable ones, or Miroslav Kos, co-author of a whole range of technological solutions for WWTPs in the Czech Republic, including the New Prague Water Line, completed in 2019.
The study is also closely linked to witnessing work at all institutes, and students have the opportunity to participate in the solution of grant projects, which are subsequently used or implemented in industry, ministries, further research or take place in cooperation with foreign institutions.
The Department of Sustainable Fuels and Green Chemistry
The Department of Sustainable Fuels and Green Chemistry focuses on several areas in its pedagogical and scientific-research activities. It deals with topics that currently resonate in public and professional discussion, such as: alternative fuels and biofuels, whether gaseous or liquid; implementation of green chemistry principles in the chemical industry or air protection and climate change. We focus in detail on the conversion of biomass and waste plastics into bio-liquids and their subsequent hydrogenation treatment, the development of heterogeneous catalysts, the application of hydrogen, biogas, and bio-methane in the gas industry, the capture of carbon dioxide in order to mitigate climate change and the monitoring of air pollution. Furthermore, at the department, we deal with innovations and optimizations in traditional areas, especially in oil technology and analysis.
Department of Water Technology and Environmental Engineering
deals with pedagogical and scientific-research activities in the field of drinking water treatment and wastewater treatment. During the course of study, students can participate in many research projects in the entire field of water technology: drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, microbiology, energy production from wastewater and other materials, etc. terrain. The institute's activities are currently focused on current topics: reuse of water, reuse of materials and energy, use of information from wastewater, safe supply of drinking water, and digitalization of water management.
Department of Power Engineering
The scientific research activity can be divided into three basic areas of research: a) Corrosion and materials in the energy sector – research is focused on testing the corrosion behavior of new materials in existing and new energy technologies (refractory steels and alloys and their behavior in supercritical energy circuits, development protective layers for coating nuclear fuel (Accident Tolerant Fuel, etc.). b) Sorption processes and ion exchange in water treatment - applications are historically associated with the production of demineralized water for energy and industry. Professional interest gradually grew into the areas of environmental protection, hydrometallurgy, and the preparation of sorbents, their lifetime in real operating conditions. An example of the topics addressed is the removal of unwanted ions from contaminated sources of drinking water and waste and process waters. A lot of attention is paid especially to oxoanions and complex ions of toxic metals and semimetals. c) Energy and material use of biomass, alternative fuels, and waste - here the research is primarily focused on the thermochemical use of waste, solid alternative fuels, bio waste, biomass, and on the circular economy of products in energy, heating, and waste management. It mainly deals with current energy topics with the aim of greater use of renewable energy sources and alternative fuels and the issue of thermochemical conversions.
Department of Environmental Chemistry
as part of its pedagogical and research activities, it generally deals with current and very important issues of environmental protection. In a more detailed view, these activities can be divided into five areas of scope: technology for environmental protection, environmental sampling and analysis, toxicology and ecotoxicology, numerical simulation of environmental engineering processes, and environmental microbiology. The institute has spacious laboratories for practical teaching, modern equipment, qualified personnel, and traditionally excellent links with leading subjects from the institutional and applied sphere of technical environmental protection.
Department of Sustainability and Product Ecology
The pedagogical focus of the institute is based on the current social need to implement the principles of sustainability into practice. Our goal is to develop education in the field of sustainability, circular economy, product ecology, raw material safety, and other fields that are important for professionals focused on sustainability. The content of the professional and creative activities of the institute's employees is analytical work in the field of product and corporate sustainability. We conduct research focused on product ecology and ecodesign. Using analytical tools such as life cycle assessment (LCA) or material flow analysis (MFA), we determine the environmental aspects of products, services, technologies, and organizations.

Forms of Study at the Faculty of Environmental Technology
|
The Faculty of Environmental Technology offers the following forms of study: |
 |
In five-year MSc study programs, the first three years of study are based on the core subjects which are common to all UCT faculties. The core subjects include mathematics, physics, general and inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, and computer equipment. All UCT faculties require about the same extent of lectures, seminars, and laboratory practice in the core subjects.
In the subsequent two years of study, instruction is focused on the explanation of the principles of chemical and technological processes, and on expanding students' knowledge of these processes. The aim is to teach students how to apply theoretical knowledge of the core subjects to the solution of specific problems in technological practice and in creative research activities. The study of chemical technology is supplemented with subjects whose knowledge is considered inevitable for practice in the area of environmental protection and in the fuel processing industry.
The three-year BSc study program runs parallel to MSc study programs.
University graduates may apply, through a contest, for three-year Ph.D. study programs which are concluded with a state doctoral examination and the defense of a dissertation.
The presented survey lists all study programs and individual subprogrammes and fields of specialization taught at the Faculty. All subprogrammes taught within MSc study programs are accredited by the Federation of European National Associations of Engineers (FEANI), which allows for the award of the title Eur.Ing.
The Faculty has currently about 450 students in MSc study programs and 100 Ph.D. students.

Applicants will be accepted on a rolling basis.
Position:
Researcher (V4)
Topic:
Advanced identification and mitigation of methane from sewer network and wastewater treatment plants
Project description:
Methane leaks in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and in the sewer network contribute to a large extent to CH4 emissions from agglomerations, but are not currently systematically mapped. At the same time, methane is about 30 times more effective as a greenhouse gas than CO2, its effect is manifested in a shorter period of time, and large water management companies in particular are now realistically motivated to map and reduce their carbon footprint.
The goal of the project is the mitigation of methane emissions from wastewater management processes, including sewage networks and WWTPs, which is an inevitable step towards reducing GHG emissions and making more efficient use of emitted methane. With the highly sensitive and methane-specific LiDAR, we will identify the main sources of leaks in the sewage network as well as the sludge and gas management of the WWTP. We will design a smart unit (mainly developed by project partner) to prevent the formation of methane already in the sewage network using aeration. We will create an advanced mathematical model to eliminate methane emissions from the main line of wastewater treatment. We will oxidize the methane in the waste gases from digested sludge storage in an optimized biofilter and partially convert it into biomass.
The student will be supervised by senior staff of the Department of Water Technology and Environmental Engineering with expertise in biological treatment processes, including sludge management. The Prague water utility company plays a key role in the development and testing of processes in real conditions in the project.

Position 2:
Researcher (V4)
Topic:
Sustainable Tools for Evaluating and Reducing the Impact of Combined Sewer Overflows on rivers
Project goals:
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs), especially in small watercourses, are a significant source of surface water pollution. Currently, there is very limited data to quantify this pollution and to develop systematic measures for its elimination or mitigation. Moreover, there is a lack of a general concept for managing CSOs. The topic is highly relevant due to the significant impact of wastewater from small settlements on small streams, which often also serve as sources of drinking and bathing water.
The aim of the project is to characterize and quantify discharges from overflow chambers at several model locations, to test technologies that improve the quality of overflow wastewater (constructed wetlands and biofilters), and subsequently to develop a methodological decision-making procedure for managing overflow wastewater.
The student will be supervised by senior staff of the Department of Water Technology and Environmental Engineering, with expertise in hydrochemistry, water analysis, and wastewater treatment processes. Other project partners include Prague Waterworks and Sewerage Company and the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague.
