Removal of amoxicillin from processing wastewater by ozonation and UV-aided ozonation: a kinetic and economic comparative study
Ribeiro M., Ramos B., (Corresponding) de Castro Peixoto A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
A novel empirical and scaling up simulation study is presented for degradation and mineralization of real residue of amoxicillin (AMX) pharmaceutical formulation in wastewater. A set of UV-ozone-based experiments was used in the kinetics modeling of AMX, considering several chemical/photochemical...Read more
Groundwater Flow Dynamics in Shallow Coastal Plain Sands Aquifer, Abesan Area, Eastern Dahomey Basin, Southwestern Nigeria.
Joseph A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Thirty hand-dug wells were identified and evaluated to study the groundwater flow dynamics and anionic species distribution in the study area. Topography and water table levels method with the aid of Surfer were adopted in the delineation of six recharge and discharge zones correspondingly...Read more
Experimental studies of the course of CO2/CH4 exchange sorption on hard coal subjected to confining pressure.
(Corresponding) Skoczylas N.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Studies were carried out on exchange sorption of CO2/CH4 on four samples of hard coal differing in the degree of coalification. The samples were subjected to various confining pressures in the range from 1.5 MPa to 30 MPa. The author's conception of the measuring apparatus made it possible to...Read more
Keywords:
CO2/CH4 exchange sorption, experiments in reservoir conditions, swelling of coal at confining pressure
Effect of confining pressure on sorption parameters and structure of coal in terms of analyzing the possibility of underground CO2 storage with CH4 recovery.
(Corresponding) Pajdak A.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
An original apparatus was constructed, allowing observation of sorption processes occurring in hard coal briquettes. The investigations were carried out on four hard coals from Poland and France differing in the degree of coalification. The coal briquettes were subjected to confining pressure with...Read more
Laboratory studies of coal permeability under conditions corresponding to in situ, in terms of assessing the possibility of underground CO2 storage with CH4 recovery
(Corresponding) Kudasik M.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Investigations of processes accompanying the exchange sorption of CO2/CH4 under confining pressure in the range of 1.5 MPa to 30 MPa have been carried out. The research was carried out on innovative apparatus for testing filtration, sorption and CO2/CH4 exchange sorption processes under isobaric...Read more
Relationship of satellite-derived atmospheric CH4 concentrations with agriculture sector CH4 emissions in Turkey
Ceylan E., (Corresponding) Kaynak B.
Topic:
Air pollution
In this study, bottom-up annual CH4 emissions from agriculture (rice cultivation, enteric fermentation and manure) were calculated with the IPCC Tier 1 approach on county-level, and province totals were obtained for the first time in Turkey. Konya, which produces the highest annual CH4 emissions (...Read more
QSight-based method for the detection and quantification of polar contaminants in drinking water
(Corresponding) Mattern D., Stefan E., Becker T., Garaguso I.
Topic:
Drinking water safety
An analytical method covering various difficult polar contaminats such as chlorate, bromate, bromide, glyphosate and AMPA was successfully developed utilizing direct injection and ion exchange columns. Linearity could be obtained for each compound, with a dynamic range of 2-3 magnitudes and...Read more

Utilization of paraffin wax as phase change material for solar thermal energy storage
(Corresponding) Shalaby S., Kabeel A., Fleafl A.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
In this work, a thermal energy storage system based paraffin wax as phase change material (PCM) was designed, constructed and tested when it was integrated with a solar water heater (SWH). For the purpose of comparison, the SWH was also tested when water was used as a storage medium. The system was...Read more

High resolution mass spectrometric non-target screening and wide-scope target analysis of emerging contaminants and target analysis of legacy contaminants in adult black-tailed godwit Limosa limosa in The Netherlands – preliminary findings
(Corresponding) Movalli P., Piersma T., Hooijmeijer J., Dekinga A., Howison R., Biesmeijer K., Dekker R., Alygizakis N., Gkotsis G., Kostakis M., Nika M., Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Contaminant monitoring can elucidate exposure of bird populations (and other species in the same biotic communities) to chemical risks. Long-term monitoring of contaminants in birds can moreover be used to assess the effectiveness of chemical risk management measures, identify emerging contaminants...Read more
Mitigation potentials of tree-crops: An economic evaluation of trading-off carbon sequestration with actual market goods.
Bithas K., (Corresponding) LATINOPOULOS D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
As climate objectives are far from being reached under the prevailing policies, more concrete actions should be undertaken, and all possibilities should be exploited. Land-based mitigation potentials are emerging as a cost-effective mitigation prospect. CO2 sequestration is an essential ecosystem...Read more
