A presumptive and interactive map of PFAS contamination in Greece: a tool for the identification of possible exposure sources
(Corresponding) Soubasakou G., Evrenoglou L., Cavoura O.
Topic:
Pollution control and contaminated sites
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging global contaminants that can have adverse environmental and human health effects. In recent years regulatory authorities have focused on setting stricter environmental limits and implementing precautionary principles. The extent and severity...Read more

Synthesis of iron and nitrogen co-doped biochar for the activation of peroxymonosulfate to degrade sulfamethoxazole
Xue Y., Kamali M., (Corresponding) Dewil R.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In this study, iron and nitrogen co-doped biochar (Fe-N-BC) was synthesized by a facile pyrolysis process of mixed walnut shell, melamine, and iron(III) chloride, and then the biochar (BC), nitrogen-doped biochar (N-BC), and iron-doped biochar (Fe-BC) also were prepared as a control. The Fe-N-BC...Read more

Comparative analysis of two microalgae-bacterial symbiotic association growth in papermill effluent enriched through food waste digestate
Talapatra K., (Corresponding) Ghosh U.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
New treatment methods are needed to better recycle waste towards the circular economy. Microalgae can be used as an asset to treat effluent and simultaneously produce biofuel. This paper aims to evaluate the growth of microalgae-bacterial symbiotic association in papermill effluent enriched through...Read more
