Seasonal variation and spatial distribution of arsenic in groundwater in a rhyolithic volcanic area of Lesvos Island, Greece
(Corresponding) ZKERI E., ALOUPI M., GAGANIS P.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
A research conducted in water wells located in the rhyolithic volcanic area of Mandamados, Lesvos Island, Greece, indicated that significant seasonal variation of arsenic concentration in groundwater exists mainly in wells near the coastal zone. However, there were differences among those coastal...Read more

Topic:
Water treatment
Contamination of water resources with Arsenic poses serious health concerns because of its toxic and carcinogenic nature. Detection of Arsenic at concentrations higher than 10 parts per billion (ppb) in some Philippine water resources confirmed the need for further studies on the contamination and...Read more

Arsenic uptake in bean and cabbage grown in silty and sandy soil and irrigated with arsenic containing water
Sandil S., (Corresponding) Dobosy P., Kröpfl K., Füzy A., Óvári M., Záray G.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The uptake of arsenic was studied in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.) in an open greenhouse pot culture with sand and silt soil as substrate. The plants were irrigated with water containing sodium arsenate at concentrations 0.05 and 0.2 mg As L-1. The...Read more
Mobilisation of Arsenic in groundwater, Lesvos Island, Greece
(Corresponding) ZKERI E., ALOUPI M., GAGANIS P.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In the present study, a geochemical analysis was conducted to investigate the As occurrence and release in groundwater from two different geological environments on Lesvos island: (i) the volcanic area of Mandamados (ignimbrite) and (ii) the metamorphic area of Tarti that comprises the geologic...Read more
Efficiency of Arsenic Removal from Water Using Fe-Modified Biochar from Date-Palm-Leaves Combined with Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) Monitoring
Siddiq O., (Corresponding) Tawabini B., Kirmizakis P., Kalderis D., Ntarlagiannis D., Soupios P.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this study, lab-scale column batch adsorption experiments were conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of Iron-modified Biochar (Fe-BC) produced from date-palm leaves at 500oC to remove arsenic (As) from contaminated water. The As removal capacity were monitored by both chemical analysis and...Read more

This study investigated the removal of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) in aqueous solution using iron-coated pomelo peel (ICPP). Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of initial pH values (2.0–10), contact time (1–1440 minutes), initial concentration (0.05–5 mg...Read more
