Screening of polar pesticides in groundwater in Hebei Province, China
Huang Y., (Corresponding) Rao Z., GUO X., YANG Z., LIU C., SHI Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
As a big agricultural country，China has a relatively high pesticide usage in unit area , which is three times higher than developed countries. About 80% of pesticides directly enter the soil and the water through leaching or surface runoff during the usage of pesticides. In particular, some of the...Read more

According to the latest environmental requirements, zero liquid discharge principle must be considered in all modern manufacturing processes. In principle, solid waste can be achieved only by evaporation plus crystallization, and therefore reverse osmosis is usually applied to decrease the...Read more

Detoxification of molasses and production of mycelial mass and polysaccharides from Morchella conica mushroom.
Dedousi M., Diamantis I., Melanouri E., Fourtaka K., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The impact of molasses on the fungal mass, valuable secondary metabolites’ production and quality characteristics of the edible wild ascomycetous Morchella conica, strain AMRL78 was examined in this study. Morchella mycelium were produced in submerged, static and agitated cultures and the C/N ratio...Read more

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Several trials with Pleurotus pulmonarius mushroom were carried out in liquid state cultures, in synthetic media containing commercial glycose and olive mill wastewater (OMW) with phenolics concentration adjusted to 10% and 30% v/v. Results demonstrated that at the end of fermentation period the...Read more

Nutrients recovery from liquid anaerobic digestate by combining nanofiltration and struvite precipitation - The case of dairy effluents valorization
Tsaridou C., (Corresponding) Karanasiou A., Sioutopoulos D., Plakas K., Tzioumaklis C., Patsikas N., Gliaos P., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Sustainable supply of raw materials
Results are reported herein of a study aiming to develop an integrated process for valorizing liquid digestate (LD) from an industrial anaerobic digestion (AD) plant treating dairy-processing effluents. The investigated approach involves LD treatment by nanofiltration (NF) membranes, at pilot-scale...Read more
