Practical Applications of Groundwater Modeling in Contaminated Site Investigation and Remediation
(Corresponding) Toskos T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Modeling is a very useful tool in the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites, that is generally misunderstood and underutilized. Often, modeling is perceived as requiring protracted and expensive efforts, beyond the means of most projects. However, developing a clear set of objectives...Read more
Data Visualization Techniques for Contaminated Site Investigation and Remediation
(Corresponding) Toskos T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Site investigations and remedial actions generate large amounts of data. While tabulating the data is necessary for the purpose of satisfying reporting requirements and comparisons to standards, it does not allow us to understand and explore relationships in the data to obtain important information...Read more
Shipyards, Shipbreaking industry and the contribution of the Industry 4.0
(Corresponding) Pournara A., Konstantinidis F.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Over the past years, a trend to monitor and control the procedures in various industries, has been attempted. It is known that the ship recycling procedure produces waste that turn to be highly dangerous for the environment, while the threat of atmospheric emissions is not yet solved. Today the...Read more

Shipyards and Ship breaking: Opportunities for utilization of steel under the prism of Circular Economy
(Corresponding) Pournara A., Sakkas V.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Among the activities that constitute the process of dismantling a ship is the obligation of proper management of hazardous materials. As almost the entire ship can be recycled, reused or even resold, the ship dismantling industry can also be considered a "green" industry. The steel used...Read more
Study of the potential of Rhodococcus strains for degradation of the pesticide Glyphosate (Roundup)
Gerginova M., Peneva N., (Corresponding) Alexieva Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The experiments were aimed at studying the tolerance of the studied strains of Rhodococcus sp. M1 and Rhodococcus sp. D1 to the presence of Glyphosate (N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine) in the culture medium. A rich organic medium (YEPD), a mineral medium (VD) with 1% glucose and a mineral medium...Read more
Biodegradation of anthracene by an Antarctic fungal strain a member of genus Alternaria
Gerginova M., Stoyanova K., Peneva N., (Corresponding) Alexieva Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
By the aim to characterize the ability of an isolated from Antarctic soils fungal strain termed Alternaria maritima AL10 to degrade anthracene as sole carbon sources at different temperature conditions (23°C and 10°C), research has performed.
The results from GC-MS analysis have shown that the...Read more
Challenges and market trends in the offshore aquaculture industry
(Corresponding) Evangelou P., Lyridis D.
Topic:
Ecology, environmental change and management
In this paper the global market trends and design challenges in the offshore aquaculture industry will be presented, focusing on the use of innovative materials for the construction of fish cages. Newly designed cages offer sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions for offshore cage...Read more
Evaluation of Pressure-Driven Membrane Processes for Nutrients Recovery from Dilute Effluents
Tsaridou C., Karanasiou A., (Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Results are presented from an ongoing R&D project, aiming at full utilization of dairy-industry effluents. Development of a membrane-based method is pursued, for treatment of digestate (after fermentation yielding bio-gas) to recover nutrients (N-NH4, P-PO4) and water for reuse/recycling or...Read more
Keywords:
nanofiltration, ultra-low-pressure reverse osmosis, dairy industry effluents, anaerobic digestate, ammonium and phosphorous recovery
Degradation of refractory compounds in industrial wastewaters by advanced technologies based on electrochemical and photochemical oxidation
Petsi P., Sarasidis V., (Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Results are presented of a systematic experimental investigation aiming to eliminate refractory organics from industrial effluents, of high and non-biodegradable organic load, by two Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs). Bench scale experiments were performed with real wastewater samples collected...Read more
Development and demonstration of an eco-innovative system for sustainable treatment and reuse of municipal wastewater in small and medium size communities in the Mediterranean region
(Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A., Takavakoglou V., Chatzis V., Oller-Alberola I., Polo-López I., Al-Naboulsi T., El Moll A., Kallali H., Mensi K., M'Hiri F., Simon Andreu P.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
Treated municipal wastewater is considered a valuable non-conventional water resource. However, a substantial number of wastewater treatment plants installed in the Mediterranean region have proven to be unsuccessful copies of systems operating in technolo-gically advanced countries. In addition to...Read more
