Conventional and organic rice production in Northern Italy: What is the (environmentally) best?

(Corresponding) Jacopo B., Luigi O., Marco P., Alessia C.

Topic:

Life cycle analysis (lca)

Italy is the most important European rice producer with about 230000 ha. Over the years the area dedicated to organic rice production is rapidaly growing. In this study, using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, the environmental performances of rice production in Italy considering both...Read more

ORGANIC SOLID WASTE MECHANICAL PRETREATMENT FOR THE OPTIMIZATION OF ANAEROBIC DIGESTION PROCESSES

(Corresponding) Cesaro A., Cieri V., Belgiorno V.

Topic:

Biowaste

Anaerobic digestion has been recognized as the most demanding process for the valorization of organic solid waste towards the production of several, valuable intermediates (Dahiya et al., 2018), which can be further converted to a methane rich-gas to meet the current needs for renewable energy...Read more

Compost Quality Assessment of Various Agricultural Wastes and Organic Manures

(Corresponding) Radwan S., (Corresponding) Ashour E.

Topic:

Solid waste management

Today the quality of compost is the most essential criterion in recycling organic wastes, as well as its marketing and utilization in agriculture. Environmentally safe recycling of organic waste to agricultural land could be crucial to sustaining soil productivity in Mediterranean areas, where soil...Read more

Characterization of Natural Organic Matter and Disinfection By-products Formed After Chemical Disinfection of Water

(Corresponding) Postigo C., (Corresponding) Andersson A., Mourad H., Bastviken D., Gonsior M., Schmitt-Kopplin P., Gago-Ferrero P., Ahrens L., Ahrens L., Wiberg K.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Chemical disinfection of water has been commonly applied to protect public health from waterborne infectious diseases. Chemical disinfectants are strong oxidants that react with the building blocks or alter the metabolism of pathogenic organisms, killing them as the final consequence. These...Read more

Development and Validation of a multistep derivatization method for the determination of polar species in organic aerosol

Kanellopoulos P., Koukoulakis K., Chrisohou E., Papadakis I., (Corresponding) Bakeas E.

Topic:

Air pollution

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is a significant constituent of airborne fine particles. A multistep derivatization method was developed, optimized, and fully validated for the determination of organic compounds in the atmospheric aerosol with mono- and multi-functional species, with GC/MS. The...Read more

MONITORING OF TREATED DOMESTIC WASTE WATER QUALITY

Poulli K., (Corresponding) Ero R., Kozakou S., Michael N., Demetriou E., Christofidou M., Aletrari M.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Cyprus is experiencing severe water supply deficiency. Particularly in summer months the situation is aggravated mainly due to low precipitation, high evaporation and increased demands for irrigation and tourisms. The use of treated wastewaters for environmental purposes such as recharging aquifers...Read more

Electrochemical Treatment of Landfill Leachate under Cold Climate Conditions

(Corresponding) Ambauen N., Meyn T., Hallé C., Muff J.

Topic:

Advanced oxidation processes

This study shows that electrochemical oxidation of landfill leachate (LL) is significantly affected by cold temperatures prevailing in Nordic climate areas. As hypothesized, the degradation of common wastewater parameters (TOC, COD) exhibited lower efficiency when low average temperature (13°C) was...Read more

Influence of microbial fuel cell integration on organic matter and nutrient removal in a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment

(Corresponding) Gonzalez T., Miranda J., Vidal G.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

The combination of constructed wetlands (CWs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has emerged in recent years with the purpose of enhancing wastewater treatment efficiency of CWs while simultaneously generating electricity. Taking the above into account, the aim of this study is to evaluate the...Read more

Cobalt- and copper-modified coal fly ash nanozeolites for environmental protection applications

(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Marinov I., Lazarova H., Zgureva D., Václavíková M., Popova M.

Topic:

Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects

Fly ash zeolites (FAZ) are promising materials for adsorbents, ion-exchangers and catalysts. FAZ usually possess a mixed micro-mesoporous structure that facilitates mass transport phenomena through their framework. Due to the transfer of iron spinel oxides and many metal species from the raw...Read more

Isolation and optimization of microbial consortia for the biodegradation of two persistent fluorinated fungicides

Alexandrino D., Mucha A., Almeida C., (Corresponding) Carvalho M.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Microbial consortia capable of completely removing and defluorinating two persistent fluorinated fungicides, epoxiconazole (EPO) and fludioxonil (FLU), were enriched from an estuarine sediment and an agriculture soil. The enrichments were conducted along 6 months, during which the fungicides were...Read more
