Sustainable purification of greywater with green walls

(Corresponding) Boano F., Caruso A., Costamagna E., Fiore S., Demichelis F., Ridolfi L., Galvão A., Pisoeiro J., Rizzo A., Masi F.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater reuse
In this study, we describe a sustainable system for treatment and reuse of grey wastewater in urban areas through vertical green walls constructed on unused surfaces of buildings. The system integrates the benefits linked to the introduction of green spaces in urban areas with the advantages...Read more

Reductive Debromination of 1,2-dibromoethane and tribromoethylene by a Shrimp-Shell Biochar and Green Rust Composite

(Corresponding) Lindhardt J., Holm P., Lu C., Hansen H.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Simple brominated ethanes and ethylenes like 1,2-dibromoethane (DBA) and tribromoethylene (TrBE) are widespread, toxic contaminants and able to persist in soil and groundwater. Some of these compounds are used as intermediates in the production of resins and as wood preservatives. Previous uses...Read more

Rainwater collection and treatment on green roofs using aromatic plants in a Mediterranean region.

(Corresponding) Schiza S., Petsis K., Tsiara Z., Petousi I., Fountoulakis M.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
For modern cities, green roofs provide important economic, environmental and social possibilities. They are a sustainable ecological technology. The present research study assesses the use of two substrates with different compositions for the growth of two aromatic plants (Lavandula dentata and...Read more
