APPLICABILITY OF SULFATE RADICAL BASED ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESSES FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT
(Corresponding) Dilsizoğlu Akyol N., Ölmez Hancı T.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Natural Organic Matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of organic compounds that are naturally present in water sources. NOM itself is not toxic, but its presence can have negative impacts on the quality of drinking water. It is important to remove NOM from drinking water sources through various...Read more
Degradation assessment of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) debris after long exposure to marine conditions
(Corresponding) Lourmpas N., Efthimiadou E., Filippides A., Papanikos P., Lekkas D., Alexopoulos N.
Topic:
Recycling of materials to new products
In the present investigation, the degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in marine environments, under ultraviolet (UV) radiation and saltwater conditions, was examined. HDPE debris were collected from the coastal areas nearby Korinthos, encompassing a wide range of exposure durations,...Read more
Fate Of Nitrofurans: Photochemistry, Transformation Products And Toxicity Evaluation In Surface Water Systems
Efthymiou C., Boti V., Konstantinou I., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Nitrofurans (NFs) consist a group of broad-spectrum antibiotic compounds provided as a basic dietary supplement in livestock husbandry as swine farms, beekeeping and aquaculture. Among nitrofurans furaltadone (FTD) is an antibiotic with a protective effect against bacterial and protozoan infections...Read more
Photocatalytic Degradation Of Aldrin Under The Influence Via Ozonation In The Presence Of Ag2o/Smfeo3 Under Visible Light
Immandhi A., (Corresponding) Maddila S., Jonnalagadda S.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The photocatalytic degradation of aldrin, a hugely toxic and commonly used pesticide was studied using Ag doped SmFeO3 as a heterogenous catalyst under ozonation reaction. Various photocatalytic nano particles were prepared with varied dopant percentage (1%, 2.5% and 5%) which were characterised...Read more
Application of KO2/ClO- advanced oxidation process to degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on example of phenanthrene
(Corresponding) Nowakowski M., Andrzejewski P., Wolski R.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Novel advanced oxidation process based on KO2 and ClO- was applied to degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It is a wide group of compounds which are negative impact on human health. Phenanthrene was chosen to represent this group of compounds due to its relatively good solubility in...Read more
Plastic to microplastic in the United Arab Emirates – plastic bottle caps in a hot, arid environment
Selem B., Alkarbi A., Alhosani A., Ahmad F., Elemam M., Iftikhar S., Mourad A., (Corresponding) Thiemann T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The degradation of plastic bottle tops as a common contributor to plastic waste in the environment was assessed under the hot, arid conditions of the hinterland of the United Arab Emirates. 500 bottles tops were collected from 5 different locations in the Al Ain area and their surface oxidation...Read more
