Compost Quality Assessment of Various Agricultural Wastes and Organic Manures
(Corresponding) Radwan S., (Corresponding) Ashour E.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Today the quality of compost is the most essential criterion in recycling organic wastes, as well as its marketing and utilization in agriculture. Environmentally safe recycling of organic waste to agricultural land could be crucial to sustaining soil productivity in Mediterranean areas, where soil...Read more
One-step Synthesis of TiO2/ZnO Nanocomposites by Refluxing Methods for Photochemical Degradation of Humic Acid
(Corresponding) Fadillah G., HIdayat R., (Corresponding) Wahyuningsih S.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Synthesis of TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites (TZN) through one-step refluxing method for photochemical degradation of humic acid (HA) in aqueous solution has been studied. Titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) and ZnSO4.7H2O were used as a starting material under base solution at 120 oC for 24 hours. TZN materials...Read more
Comparative analysis of chlorinated intermediates formed during electrochemical and photo(electro)catalytic degradation of 4-Ethylphenol in saline media
(Corresponding) Brüninghoff R., van Duijne A., Braakhuis L., Saha P., Jeremiasse A., Mei B., (Corresponding) Mul G.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Formation of toxic by-products, such as chlorinated intermediates, is one of the major drawbacks of advanced oxidation processes for saline wastewater treatment. Here a comparative analysis of electrochemical oxidation and photocatalytic degradation of 4-Ethylphenol, a non-chlorinated starting...Read more
Successful use of UV light driven photocatalytic oxidation for the removal of an emergent water contaminant
SESCU A., FAVIER L., LUTIC D., CIOBANU G., (Corresponding) HARJA M.
Topic:
Water treatment
The discharged pharmaceutical compounds in water have created environmental problems due to their harmful potential at low concentrations. Finding an environmentally friendly treatment process is a real challenge to avoid water contamination. Heterogeneous photocatalysis, can be used for the...Read more

(Corresponding) Innocenzi V., De Michelis I., Ippolito N., Mazziotti Di Celso G., Prisciandaro M., Vegliò F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Aerobic degradation of effluents contains tetramethylammonium hydroxide molecules (TMAH), coming from an electronic industry, were studied at laboratory and pilot scale. At the first, the preliminary experiments were conducted using a lab scale reactor inoculated with activated sludge coming from...Read more

Analysis of degradation of the micropollutant amoxicillin by photolysis and evaluation of the degradation products
(Corresponding) Hoehne L., Vettorello G., Ethur E., Kuhn D., Freitas E., Steffens C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Emerging micro pollutants are substances that have recently been identified in environmental matrices, of which information on environmental permanence and toxicity is still scarce. Because of their chemical structure, antibiotics are more stable and require more complex processes for degradation...Read more
Keywords:
emerging pollutant, degradation; amoxicilin, water
Evaluation of Photocatalytic Materials for Water Purification: Overview of the New CEN Standard Test
Triantis T., Kaloudis T., (Corresponding) Hiskia A.
Topic:
Water treatment
TiO2 photocatalysis offers an attractive alternative to conventional water treatment technologies leading directly to the degradation of organic pollutants, compared to transferring them from one phase to another as in the case of membranes or activated carbon. There is an increasing interest on...Read more

IN-SITU REMOVAL OF ANTIBIOTICS IN SOIL BY COLD PLASMA
(Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C., Hatzisymeon M., Tataraki D., Rassias G.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Antibiotics are extensively used in clinical settings to treat or prevent human diseases, in veterinary science for farm and domestic animal health and in agriculture for crop protection. Due to their incomplete biological degradation, human and animal antibiotics are released through discharges...Read more
Structuring efficient photocatalysts into bespoke fiber shaped systems for applied water treatment
(Corresponding) Theodorakopoulos G., Romanos G., Katsaros F., Papageorgiou S., Falaras P., Kontos A., Beazi-Katsioti M.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
In this study structured photocatalytic systems were successfully developed by a facile method. Polymeric (Alginate) molds, settled the basis in order to effectively disperse and stabilize nanoparticles of an efficient, copper augmented photocatalyst (Degussa P25), which after removal of the...Read more

New evidence of accelerated elimination of an emergent water pollutant by TiO2 assisted photo-oxidation
(Corresponding) FAVIER L., LASLAU A., SIMION A., SESCU A., HARJA M., RUSU L.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Over the past few years, the presence of the pharmaceuticals and their metabolites in the aquatic environment has become an important public health issue. These molecules are generally released in the aquatic ecosystem through the effluents of conventional wastewater treatment plants which were not...Read more
