Aerobic degradation of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) from effluents of semiconductor industries: kinetic studies of laboratory and pilot experiments

(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

In-situ bioremediation of groundwater polluted with Cr(VI) under anaerobic conditions

Galani A., Anastopoulou P., Noutsopoulos C., (Corresponding) Mamais D.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The natural capacity of several microbes to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) has been considered of much interest in order to remediate soil and groundwater polluted with Cr(VI). The objective of this work is to evaluate the enhancement of the activity of indigenous Cr(VI) reducing bacteria by the addition...Read more

Experimental studies of the course of CO2/CH4 exchange sorption on hard coal subjected to confining pressure.

(Corresponding) Skoczylas N.
Topic: 
Gas emissions control and utilization
Studies were carried out on exchange sorption of CO2/CH4 on four samples of hard coal differing in the degree of coalification. The samples were subjected to various confining pressures in the range from 1.5 MPa to 30 MPa. The author's conception of the measuring apparatus made it possible to...Read more

Real-scale Analysis of Riparian Vegetation Deformations and Flow Resistance of Vegetated Streams

(Corresponding) Lama G.
Topic: 
Ecology, environmental change and management
The objective of this study is the comparative analysis of the main hydrodynamic traits of vegetated streams and riparian vegetation 3D bending through the processing of real-scale measurements retrieved during field hydraulic experiments in a vegetated water body colonized by young flexible...Read more

Assessing the performance of green nano Zero Valent Iron in column experiments for the removal of NSAIDs from water

(Corresponding) Panagou I., Kalli M., Noutsopoulos C., Mamais D., Koumaki E., Malamis S.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
The existence of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment is globally a major concern. Among them, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a vast category of pharmaceuticals that are widely consumed and cannot be completely removed in typical wastewater treatment systems, thus...Read more

Valorization of waste graphite deriving from "End Of Life Lithium-Ion Battery recycling" for a second use in wastewater treatment.

(Corresponding) Premathilake D., (Corresponding) Vaccari M., Botelho Junior A., Tenório J., Espinosa D., Colombi F.
Topic: 
Recycling of materials to new products
Exponential utilization of Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has produced a notable amount of hazardous waste recently. The current practices focus on recovering precious metals available in cathode giving less priority for anode material (graphite) recoveries and valorizations. However, thinning of...Read more
