Employing data-driven models in the optimization of chemical usage in water treatment plants
(Corresponding) Kandris K., Romas E., Tzimas A., Gavalakis E.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
One of the most challenging tasks in potable water production is the cost-efficient and consistent operation of water treatment plants (WTPs) that treat raw water of variable quality and quantity. To increase process stability and optimize the usage of resources, two data-driven models simulated...Read more

This paper studies the dynamics of an economy specialized in fisheries facing a rising marine litter problem. We present a dynamic optimization model to explain the mechanism through which marine litter causes inefficiencies in the fishery sector. We study the dynamic properties of the model when...Read more
A practical time discretization methodology for adjusting the dosage profile in photo-Fenton processes
Xiangwei Y., Graells M., (Corresponding) Perez-Moya M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Photo-Fenton processes are effective for mineralizaing aqueous solutions containing emergent pollutants. Accordingly, a number of works has been dedicated to determining conditions enhancing their performance (Pouran et al.,2015; Wang et al.,2016).
Despite improvements, solutions are still far...Read more
Co-Pyrolysis of Corn Stover with Plastic: Optimization Based on Synergy
(Corresponding) Salvilla J., Rollon A., De Luna M.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The co-pyrolysis of lignocellulosic wastes such as Corn stover with plastic has been found to improve the both the yield and quality of pyrolysis oil and gas products. In this study, the co-pyrolysis of Corn stover (CS) with plastic (LDPE, and PP) were studied through thermogravimetric analysis...Read more

(Corresponding) Khan N., (Corresponding) Santos ., Afzal K., Simranjeet S.
Topic:
Water management in arid communities/places
Membranes are widely used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment plants, among others, to purify and recycle water, separate dissolved substances from the environment, such as organic and inorganic contaminants, and recover valuable materials...Read more
Mathematics for Optimal Design of Sustainable Infrastructures
(Corresponding) Vázquez-Méndez M., Alvarez-Vázquez L., García-Chan N., Martínez A., Rodríguez C.
Topic:
Sustainability & the SDGs
The main objective of this work is to show how mathematics, particularly the combination of modelling, numerical simulation and optimization, is a useful tool in the design of sustainable infrastructures. To do it, we clarify what we understand by systems optimization and present three interesting...Read more
