Mineralurgy and environmental technologies

The Mineral Processing and Environmental Technologies study program provides graduates with a broad professional profile and comprehensive, high-quality knowledge of mineral resources and their utilization, as well as of materials chemistry. Graduates also understand the physical and chemical principles of the processes used within their specialization and their impact on the complexity and demands of technologies. Graduates understand the issues of processing and beneficiation of mineral resources (coal, metallic, and non-metallic ores) with the aim of their further utilization in various sectors of the economy, enabling them to design, apply, optimize, construct, and manage mineral processing technologies. They are capable of designing, modeling, and projecting technologies for the processing and treatment of primary and secondary raw materials. Graduates of the study program can find employment in organizations involved in environmental monitoring and assessment, waste management, and environmental impact assessment. Employment opportunities exist in both the public and private sectors—within state administration, local government bodies dealing with environmental issues, industrial enterprises whose activities are related to raw material processing, and various environmental organizations.
