Synthesis and application of Z-Scheme g-C3N4/g-C3N5 heterotype homojunction for aquatic pollutants degradation

Sioulas S., Lykos C., Konstantinou I., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are key technologies in wastewater treatment for their effectiveness and low environmental impact. Heterogeneous photocatalysis, particularly using TiO2, has been extensively studied; however, its wide band gap (~3.2 eV) limits its efficiency under solar light...Read more

Coupling artificial neural network and fluorescence spectroscopy to control CEC removal during AOPs

Fazzino F., Gagliano E., Santoro D., (Corresponding) Roccaro P.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) include anthropogenic compounds frequently detected in natural and engineered water systems at trace concentrations. CEC are relevant due to their high persistence and mobility and adverse effects on humans, wildlife, ecosystems. One of the main challenges is...Read more

Volcanic ash recovery and valorization

(Corresponding) Roccaro P., Vagliasindi F.
Topic: 
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Volcanic ash (VA) from Mt. Etna, frequently deposited in surrounding urban areas due to intense eruptive activity, poses significant environmental, infrastructural, and economic challenges, especially related to cleanup operations and air traffic disruption. Traditionally treated as waste and...Read more

Development of fluorescence sensors for DBPs control in drinking water

(Corresponding) Roccaro P., Marino L.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Chlorination of drinking water has been recognized as one of the most effective public health measures ever. However, chlorine reacts with Natural Organic Matter (NOM) present in all surface waters to produce disinfection by-products (DBPs). Trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are...Read more

Ship electrification as a pathway to decarbonize shipping: The case of Perama-Salamina line

(Corresponding) Kotrikla A., Remoundos G., Lekakou M., Polydoropoulou A., Papaioannou G., Katsounis G., Fameli K., Assimakopoulos V., Grivas G., Mihalopoulos N., Liora N., Poupkou A., Progiou A., Zerefos C., Grigoriadis A., Tsegas G., Fragkou E., Ntziachristos L.
Topic: 
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
Ship electrification offers a promising pathway to decarbonise maritime transportation, especially for short-sea shipping, and activities within port areas. This paper examines the viability of using hybrid or fully electric vessels on a coastal route in the Aegean Sea, with the goal of assessing...Read more

Measuring climate data in school environment: Analysis of Climatic Trends on the island of Chios (2014–2025)

(Corresponding) Theodosiou K., Papageorgiou K.
Topic: 
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Teachers of natural sciences theoretically have the ability and privilege to conduct their lessons in a laboratory. In this way, students develop a special interest in the subject of science and acquire additional skills. However, these experiments are typically focus on the syllabus and...Read more

Nanobiotechnology for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater

(Corresponding) Shafiq S.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Nanobiotechnology offers promising techniques to treat and clean industrially wastewater. Past reports on wastewater particularly from textile industries, have shown significant levels of harmful and toxic heavy metals including chromium, lead, zinc and cadmium. Removal of such toxic heavy metals...Read more

Performance of Electrified MXene Membranes in Real Wastewater Applications

Ouda M., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Nanoplastic (NP) contamination in wastewater is a growing environmental concern, requiring innovative and scalable treatment. Electrified membranes have emerged as a promising approach for NP removal by leveraging electrostatic repulsion and electrocoagulation mechanisms. In this study, we...Read more
