Removal of copper (II) from aqueous solution using biopolymer-based materials: Theoretical and statistical physics investigation for wastewater treatment

ELBOUGHDIRI N., FERKOUS H., ROUIBAH K., DELIM A., BOUBLIA A., ALGETHAMI J., ALQAHTANI M., JEON B., (Corresponding) Yadav Y., BENGUERBA Y.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
Pollution from heavy metals is increasingly recognized as a major threat to Earth's ecosystem. Due to the potential economic and ecological consequences, there is an urgent need to develop waste management systems and strategies for disposing of copper ions (Cu2+) from the industrial sector...Read more

Trace Metals in the water column of the coastal zone in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba

Tzempelikou E., Parinos C., Zeri C., Iliakis S., Pavlidou A., (Corresponding) Abualnaja Y.
Topic: 
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study trace metals concentrations in the water column are presented along the coastal zone of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea (Saudi Arabia). This is a baseline assessment of the metal pollution status of the water using trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) measurements obtained...Read more

Enabling sustainability and resilience in industries through the value chains’ circularity and digitalisation

(Corresponding) Aryblia M., Sarantinoudis N., Tsinarakis G., Arampatzis G.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Living for the last decades in a linear world has emerged the necessity for resources reduction, reuse, and recycling, leaving behind the “take-make-waste” economic model and jumping over towards a cyclical ecologic system. Especially for the industrial environments, the efficient management of...Read more

A comprehensive monitoring approach to evaluate the impact of an urban landfill on a naturally reducing aquifer

(Corresponding) Preziosi E., Parrone D., Frollini E., Ciotoli G., Sciarra A., Ruggiero L., Ghergo S.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The processes leading to high levels of arsenic, iron, and manganese in a naturally reducing aquifer beneath a landfill are investigated. Traditional groundwater monitoring (physical-chemical parameters, major and trace inorganic compounds, organic compounds) has been complemented with the analysis...Read more

Speciation of inorganic and organic arsenic forms using HPLC-ICP-MS technique in aqueous matrices

Tenea A., Dinu C., (Corresponding) Vasile G., Iancu V., Niculescu M.
Topic: 
Heavy metals in the environment
The aim of the study was to develop, optimize and validate an analytical method for the simultaneous detection and quantification of As species (As (III), dimethylarsinate (DMA), monomethylarsonate (MMA) and As (V)) from various water matrices (drinking water, surface water and groundwater) using...Read more

Year-round assessment of water pollutants in five Greek rivers

(Corresponding) Lymperopoulou T., Zarkaliou A., Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
River systems in diverse climates and environments
Globally, an estimated 80% of industrial and municipal wastewater is discharged into the environment without any prior treatment, with adverse effects on human health and the ecosystem. The current study was conducted for a year-round assessment of water pollutants in five Greek rivers (Glafkos,...Read more
