Comparative hydrochemical assessment of groundwater quality from different aquifers for irrigation purposes: Study area Armavir Region in Armenia
(Corresponding) Harutyunyan A., Singh A., Khachatryan H., Ghazaryan K.
Topic:
9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES
Groundwater quality is a key parameter in sustainable agriculture and water resource management. Poor groundwater quality directly affects soil properties and crop yields. This research aimed to study and assess the irrigation properties of groundwater in the Armavir region, one of Armenia's...Read more

An Extensive Analysis of Salinity Tolerance of Portulaca oleracea L. for Sustainable Agriculture
(Corresponding) Margaryan G., Singh A., Khachatryan H., Ghazaryan K.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Nowadays, crop insufficiency and decrease in productivity resulting from soil salinization is threatening the world. Thus, it is extremely important to improve crop yield and prevent land degradation process. This study investigated the response of a halophyte, Dandur (Portulaca oleracea L.)...Read more

EU Climate Law, Recovery and Resilience Policy: Outcomes for Greece First Energy Transition Steps.
Boulogiorgou D., (Corresponding) Kaldellis J.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
In view of the fast energy transition implementation, communities depending on fossil fuel exploitation activities are facing structural economic disruptions. This is the case for West Macedonia (W.M.) and Megalopolis (central Peloponnese) regions in Greece, which are severely affected by the rapid...Read more

Fish waste valorization route: production of biohydrogen and volatile fatty acids under different process conditions
(Corresponding) Arhin S., Esposito G., Cesaro A.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Acidogenic fermentation with anaerobic microbial consortia is an attractive route for fish waste (FW) valorization towards high-value products, including volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and biohydrogen (H2). Nonetheless, literature on the influence of operational parameters on VFAs and H2 production...Read more
Innovative Energy Projects and Policies for the Energy Transition of Small Greek Islands
(Corresponding) Boulogiorgou D.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Many islands around the world, particularly Non-Interconnected Islands (NIIs), use oil products to meet their electricity needs. Several of these islands enjoy excellent renewable energy potential. This potential of NIIs encourages actions to maximize the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (...Read more

Advancing Membrane Distillation: Multi-Channel Designs for Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Performance
(Corresponding) Kharraz J., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Membrane Distillation (MD) is a thermally driven desalination process with high rejection rates for non-volatile contaminants. However, traditional single-channel (SC) modules are limited by severe temperature polarization, reducing energy efficiency and overall productivity. This study explores...Read more
Sustainable Desalination Through Eco-Friendly Membrane Technology: Enhancing Performance with Biodegradable Polymers and Green Solvents
Abuhatab F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The integration of green concepts into membrane technology remains a key challenge. Among various fabrication methods, non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) is the most widely used technique. However, concerns regarding secondary pollution present significant drawbacks. This study aims to...Read more
Electrospun microbial protein and cellulose acetate nanocomposite fibers for heavy metals-contaminated water remediation
(Corresponding) Marra S., Venezia V., Maraviglia C., Luciani G., Matassa S., Cesaro A., Silvestri B.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Heavy metal pollution is a major environmental issue, with industrial and agricultural activities increasing metal concentrations in water. Effective treatment methods are crucial, and adsorption is one of the most efficient techniques. This study combines microbial proteins (MPs) from waste...Read more
Keywords:
electrospinning, cellulose acetate-based membrane, microbial protein, sustainable process, heavy metals water treatment
Exploring the patterns of particle-bound PAHs in ambient air of an urban agglomeration (first results)
(Corresponding) Diamanti V., Gkaras S., Triantafyllou A.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
This study examines the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM10 atmospheric particles in an urban environment, Ioannina, Greece (population: ~114.000). A one-year sampling campaign, spanning from March 2022 to April 2023, was conducted. Fifty-seven 24-hour samples representing...Read more
Investigating the Potential of Phytoremediation-assisted Treatment of Rainwater for Domestic Use using Selected Agro-wastes as Filter Media
(Corresponding) Bilaro V., Bilaro A.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The Bicol Region is one of the most exposed areas to natural disasters in the Philippines. It is economically reliant on agriculture, with coconut and rice among the important crops being produced. This study looks into the potential of utilizing locally available agro-waste materials as...Read more
