Improvement of calculations of the total Characterization factor in the USEtox model including a regional approach
(Corresponding) Belyanovskaya A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The USEtox model as one of LCIA models is an instrument to characterize the human toxicity impact. The model measures the intake of metals by population with meat products. The USEtox is the only model including geographical separation and wide database with organic and nonorganic chemicals...Read more

Method Development for the Determination of Heavy Metals such as Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc in Aluminium Alloys by ICP-OES, based on wastewater analysis method
Gkogkaki V., Karageorgis A., (Corresponding) Pantazis K.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The determination of Heavy Metals such as Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc in Aluminium Alloys is usually achieved following ASTM E3061-17 Method. Alternatively, for time and cost saving, the laboratory’s ΕΝ ISO 11885:2009 method for wastewater analysis was appropriately modified producing...Read more

Trace Metals In Water And Soils In The Vicinity Of A Small – Medium Waste Electrical And Electronic Equipment Recycling Plant
(Corresponding) ZKERI E., Tzoraki O., Lasithiotakis M., Sinioros P.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
A research conducted in order to investigate the environmental impact of an e-waste recycling plant to the soil and water resources of the surrounding area. Therefore trace elements in both water and soil samples were determined with Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Heavy...Read more

Research on the ability of urban trees to retain heavy metals. A silvicultural approach.
(Corresponding) Vordoglou M., Samara T., Tsitsoni T.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The purpose of the present research was to study the ability of urban trees’ leaves to retain heavy metals. Three major heavy traffic streets of Thessaloniki were chosen. Two tree species were studied: Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle and Catalpa bignonioides Walt. and 360 leaf samples were...Read more

Removal of heavy metals from sewage sludge using combined hydrothermal pretreatment and chelate extraction
(Corresponding) Usťak S., Muňoz J.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The removal of heavy metals from sewage sludge using the combined influence of hydrothermal pretreatment and chelate extraction was tested. The classical method of batch extraction with chelates and the advanced hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP) extraction process with chelates were compared. Both...Read more

The comparison of sediment quality in the rivers the Eastern Slovakia by Potential ecological risk index
(Corresponding) Singovszka E., Balintova M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The current pollution of sedimentary environment is very serious and exceeds load capacity limit and it is influenced by other external factors such as climate, hydrodynamic conditions, pH, salinity, Eh, temperature and other. This influences can cause the heavy metals are re-released from the...Read more
