Enhancing electro-Fenton-based tertiary treatment for tannery effluent via Response Surface Methodology
Pasciucco E., Pasciucco F., Iannelli r., (Corresponding) Pecorini I., Panico A.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
This study focuses on improving advanced oxidation methods as a final treatment for tannery wastewater. The goal was to find the best conditions for an electrochemical peroxidation (ECP) process that removes COD and color from tannery effluents at neutral pH, while reducing costs by avoiding...Read more
A geospatial multi-criteria analysis for wind turbines and photovoltaic modules optimal siting on the island of Kos
Theochari A., (Corresponding) Bertsiou M., Papalexiou E., Baltas E.
Topic:
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
The need to increase the share of renewable energy sources (RES) by 2030 raises the issue of determining the optimal sites for various RES units. Especially for wind turbines (WTs), there is a relevant legislative framework that requires the evaluation of distances from buffer zones. Using a...Read more

GIS-MCDM model, AHP method, RES penetration, RES optimal site selection
Industrial Urban Symbiosis: A Solution to Transform Waste into Resources
(Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Kora E., Antonopoulou G., Ntaikou I., Didachos M., Syriopoulos G., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The Greek EcoSite, located in Western Achaia, exemplifies the benefits of industrial-urban symbiosis (I-US) through its innovative waste treatment processes and integrated approach. By promoting collaboration between industries and urban areas, the EcoSite optimizes resource use and minimizes waste...Read more
CuO nanoparticles as modifiers for membranes for anaerobic membrane digestion
(Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Pavlopoulos C., Markouli P., Anton D., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Membrane separation technologies offer a promising solution for anaerobic digestate treatment but are limited by membrane fouling and reduced flux. This study investigated the use of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) on ultrafiltration membranes to mitigate fouling and improve separation performance during...Read more
Towards a Circular Aquaculture: Assessing Sustainability and Consumer Acceptance of Insect-Based Feed for Trout Farming
(Corresponding) Pavesi R., Bacenetti J., Cianciabella M., Versari G., Aiuto B., Biasato I., Orsi L.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Addressing the urgent need for sustainable aquaculture amidst escalating protein demand and environmental burdens from conventional practices, the newRIFF project investigates a novel circular economy solution: the valorization of agricultural organic waste into alternative protein sources for...Read more
Keywords:
Sustainable Aquaculture; Insect-Based Feed; Consumer Acceptance; Life Cycle Assessment
Beyond the Grove: Climate-Driven Dispersal of Bactrocera oleae into Adjacent Forest Habitats in Mediterranean Landscapes
(Corresponding) Sentas S., (Corresponding) Stavrianakis G., Demesiotis P., Kizos T.
Topic:
8. ECOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT
The olive fly (Bactrocera oleae) is a significant pest in olive cultivation areas, jeopardizing both productivity and quality. Conventional pest management has concentrated on grove perimeters, frequently neglecting the influence of surrounding non-agricultural ecosystems. As climate change...Read more
Keywords:
Bactrocera oleae, climate change, agroecology, Mediterranean, pest ecology
Treating PAHs in Scrubber Washwater: an Investigation into Fenton-like Advanced Oxidation
(Corresponding) Bautista-Chamizo E., Bermudez-García L., Cavilla-Molina M., Nebot E., Moreno-Andrés J.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The maritime transport sector primarily uses fuel oil, leading to exhaust gas emissions that contain harmful substances like heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which pose risks to marine ecosystems. Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (scrubbers) are essential for complying with...Read more
A Novel Automated Water Pretreatment System for Microbial Preconcentration and DNA Extraction Using Monolithic Adsorption Filtration (MAF)
(Corresponding) Moyseos M., Demosthenous P., Seidel M.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Nowadays, there is an urgent need for rapid and efficient microbial monitoring in water resources. This need has become especially critical due to new EU directives mandating zero pathogen presence in drinking and reuse water. This work introduces an innovative, automated pretreatment system that...Read more
Keywords:
DNA extraction, Monolithic Adsorption Filtration (MAF), Pathogen Preconcentration, Water Monitoring
Investigating the chemical impact of human-related activities on the Red Sea marine environment utilizing High Resolution Mass Spectrometry
Kontogianni P., Lougkovois R., Parinos C., Gotsis G., Nika M., Hatzianestis I., (Corresponding) Pavlidou A., Abualnaya Y., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
7.4 Emerging pollutants
A baseline study was conducted in the Red Sea marine environment, where sediments were collected, aiming to investigate the long-term impact of anthropogenic activities, and provide useful insights to legislative parties in the framework of the Marine and Coastal Environment Protection Initiative (...Read more
Remediation of Lead-Contaminated Sand through Cerussite Formation and its Effects on Sand Shear Strength Properties
Keykha H., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Bush J., Romiani H.
Topic:
10. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING
This study addresses the effect of CO2 syntesised carbonate minerals use in situ to remediate lead (Pb)- contaminated soil and their effect on the soil mechanical properties. A spiked sandy soil sample contaminated with 3,000 ppm of lead nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) was subjected to injection of hydroxide (...Read more
