Course objectives
The man created lot of technical products in process of technogenesis.
These products are by their chemical composition and genesis specific on one side and very similar to natural minerals and rocks on other side. In the course of time the products become warn, they lose their functionality and they are replaced by new products, manufactured by the new technologies (of both better and worth quality).
Unnecessary materials are deposited on junkyards where they can be reclamated, recycled or closed. They penetrate to the different depth levels not only in soil horizons but also to the adits after mined raw materials. To distinguish these materials from the natural rocks and minerals they are called technolits.
Technolitology deals with complex evaluation of material chracteristics and processes in technical substances running in interaction with litosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. This means mainly processes taking place in underground structures or substructural constructions in interaction with rocky environment or processes of interaction of technical substances with atmosphere and living organisms.
Syllabus
