Waste water treatment with agricultural by-products: An investigation with date pit powder
(Corresponding) alghamdi A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Water is very precious and inevitable for every living objects including human beings. Fresh water sources are becoming scarce and all over the world a quantum of research is being carried out on water. Huge quantity of waste water is generated by us every day and there are various methods to...Read more

Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
This paper presents the results of research conducted in collaboration with 97 ESPO EcoPorts members that completed the Self-Diagnosis Method (SDM), most of them members of the EU TEN-T network. SDM is a concise checklist against which ports can self-assess their environmental management...Read more

Calculating Carbon Footprint in ports through a new Standard Tool: case study applications
Azarkamand S., Ferré G., (Corresponding) Darbra R.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
One of the main environmental problems in ports is Climate Change and its consequences. Since 1979, many international organizations have been working to control Climate Change. A literature review and a practical research were carried out to set up the basis to create a tool. These studies showed...Read more

Risk assessment and apportionment studies of particulate pollution at Ankamaly, South India
R K., (Corresponding) N S., Varghese L.
Topic:
Air pollution
In the present world which is engulfed by the ill-effects of air pollution, stringent permissible emission standards to curb pollution are mandatory. Source and risk apportionment studies help to understand the sources and their contributions. Four parameters, lifetime average daily dose, hazard...Read more

Impact of nitrogen fertilization on nodulation and symbiotic efficiency of indigenous Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains
(Corresponding) Sikora S., Abrlic J., Rajnović I., Kajic S.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Nitrogen fixation is a beneficial microbial process that greatly contribute to sustainable agricultural production and environment protection. Soil bacteria, collectively named rhizobia, are characterized by their unique ability to induce the formation of root nodules in which they convert...Read more
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are toxic for the environment and human health and their tendency to readily volatilize in the atmosphere leads to problems connected to odours annoyance. The conventional treatments for VOCs gaseous emissions conventionally entail the application of chemical-...Read more
Novel Polyethersulfone (PES) Alpha-Zirconium Phosphate (α-ZrP) Ion Exchange Mixed Matrix Membranes for Effective Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater
ABDULKARIM E., IBRAHIM Y., (Corresponding) HASAN S., NADDEO V., BANAT F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In this study, novel polyethersulfone (PES) alpha-zirconium (α-ZrP) ion exchange mixed matrix membranes were fabricated via phase inversion method using nano-sized alpha-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP-n) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as dispersant nano-additives in the dope solution preparation. The...Read more

Microalgae biomass cultivation and harvesting optimization in biological carbon capture and utilization systems for biofuels production
(Corresponding) Senatore V., Zarra T., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Napodano P., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The boosting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere due to anthropogenic activity contributes significantly to climate change. According to the Green Deal by 2050, net zero greenhouse gas emissions must be achieved. Therefore, actions are needed in order to control GHG emissions. The...Read more
Life cycle assessment of microalgal membrane photobioreactors
Senatore V., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Lazzarini F., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The exploration of new biomass sources for energy purposes is increasing. Cultivation of algal biomass for biofuels production through photobioreactor represents an attractive and useful way to obtain clean energy, also thanks to the contribution that the system makes on the reduction of climate...Read more
