Use of the microalgae Chlorella Sorokiniana for municipal wastewater treatment: batch experiments
Kotoula D., Iliopoulou A., Irakleous-Palaiologou E., Gatidou G., Aloupi M., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Batch experiments were conducted in order to investigate the use of microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana for the treatment of different types of municipal wastewater (raw sewage, anaerobically treated wastewater, aerobically treated wastewater) and investigate the role of light and addition of ammonium...Read more
Effect of iodine containing irrigation water on plant physiological processes of bean and potato cultivated in different soils
(Corresponding) Dobosy P., Vetési V., Kröpfl K., Sandil S., Óvári M., Rékási M., Záray G.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
Iodine deficiency is a well known environmental health problem in several regions of the world. Fruits and vegetables have been proven to be an effective way to increase iodine intake for humans by iodine enriched edible plants.
In our study plant physiological processes of potato and bean plants...Read more
Quantification of Soil Properties from Hyperspectral Data for Sustainable Agriculture Using Deep Learning
(Corresponding) Singh S., Kasana S.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The characterization of soil properties is critical for optimizing farming for sustainable agriculture. All the existing techniques for soil quantification do not take advantage of the sequential nature of Hyperspectral Data. This work focuses on proposing a Hybrid Framework that can quantitatively...Read more
Simulating nutrient loads in an intensively cultivated Mediterranean watershed under current and projected climate conditions
(Corresponding) Pisinaras V., Kamidis N., Koutrakis E., Hatzigiannakis E., Panagopoulos A.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
On the global scale, agriculture constitutes the most significant non-point pollution source for surface water bodies, especially in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus. Located in northeastern Greece, Vistonis basin constitutes the area that discharges into Vistonis estuarine system, which is very...Read more
The effect of intercrop on soil properties of an agroforestry system in Kea -Greece
(Corresponding) Pantera A., Papadopoulos A., Fotiadis G., Kapsalis D., Pinelopi P., Papaspyropoulos K.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Valonia oak is the most widespread tree species found in the Aegean island of Kea - Cyclades. It forms traditional agroforestry systems since intensive agriculture is not easily practiced in the island due to the xerothermic climate and the rough terrain with steep slopes. This system has...Read more
IMPROVING INNOVATION CAPACITIES OF PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ACTORS FOR SUSTAINABLE AND PROFITABLE RECYCLING OF LIVESTOCK WASTE
(Corresponding) Antoniou M., Kallikazarou N., Koutsokeras L., Constantinides G., Constantinide E.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
The Mediterranean region is known for its intensive livestock farming, especially for the breeding of pigs and cattle. These activities result in vast amounts of waste that necessitate proper treatment. Inadequate manure treatment can cause eutrophication of surface waters, enrichment of nitrates...Read more
Nutrient Removal from Stormwater using Australian Native Plants in Constructed Floating Wetland
(Corresponding) Nuruzzaman M., Anwar A., Sarukkalige R.
Topic:
Water treatment
Stormwater pollution causes excessive nutrient influx to rivers and lakes, which can trigger algal bloom and subsequent damages to the freshwater ecosystem. Constructed Floating Wetland (CFW), a cost-effective technology, uses aquatic plants in a hydroponic system to strip nutrients from stormwater...Read more
Wastewater Treatment and Membrane Fouling Control Using an Algae-Activated Sludge Self-Forming Dynamic Membrane Bioreactor (AAS-SFDMBR)
Corpuz M., Castrogiovanni F., Senatore V., Borea L., Buonerba A., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Hasan S., Ballesteros F., Napodano P., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Self-forming dynamic membrane bioreactors (SFDMBRs), which utilize formed biomass layer and large pore-size mesh/ support materials instead of conventional membrane materials, have been studied for wastewater treatment applications. The consortium of algae and activated sludge bacteria has also...Read more
Effect of Castanea sativa plantation age on soil bacterial communities
(Corresponding) Alvarez-Lopez V., Ferreiro-Dominguez N., Mosquera-Losada R.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Soil microbial communities are involved in key processes of forest ecosystems that include decomposition of organic matter, cycling of nutrients or formation of structure. The composition and diversity of these communities depend on a large number of factors such as humidity, pH, nutrient levels, C...Read more
Assessment of yields and properties of bioplastics production from acidified sugary wastewaters via mixed microbial cultures
Kora E., Tsaousis P., Andrikopoulos K., Chasapis C., (Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Voyiatzis G., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
A mixed microbial culture (MMC) of poly-hydroxy-alkanoates (PHAs) producers was developed in a draw- fill reactor (DFR) subjected to sequential nitrogen/carbon limitation stress using short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as carbon source. The distribution of microorganisms was analyzed in the beginning...Read more
