Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
This lecture concerns geological resources, rare metals, their occurrence in some types of geological deposits, and the importance of Mineralogy in the development of new materials.
The lecture contains 4 theoretical chapters, and 4 extra-muros visits:
1. Metals in modern technologies
2. Nuclear energy
3. Wind and solar energies
4. Energy storage
The following visits will be conducted:
1. The Greenmat Lab (ULiège): battery development, recycling of solar pannels
2. The Gemme Lab (ULiège): recycling of metals
3. The ISSEP (Liège): atmospheric dusts
4. Ile aux Corsaires, Lande de Streupas: visit of these industrial sites polluted with Zn and Cd
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The goal of this lecture is to sensibilize the students to actual environnemental problematics, that thei will probably meet during their carreer. Particularily, I would like to show the important role of mineralogy in the characterization of geological deposits, but also in the development of new materials.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic knowledge of mineralogy
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Four extra-muros visits are planned in this lacture, as well as many practicals: observation of the different electronic constituents of a laptop, calculation of Ta contents of some geological deposits, drawing of crystal structural models of some minerals, macroscopic examination of minerals.
Two days of field-trip are organized each year in the Stavelot Massif (Ardenne).
Three days field-trip in the Eifel region are organized every two years, with the Bac2 students.
These field-trips are evaluated through a written report.
