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
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
Feasibility of reuse filter backwash water as primary/aid coagulant in coagulation-sedimentation process for synthetic effluent
Lilia M., (Corresponding) Djamal A.
Topic:
Water treatment
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of reusing filter backwash water (FBWW) from the water treatment plant (WTP)as a substitute for the conventional coagulants (primary coagulant) in the coagulation-sedimentation process applied for synthetic effluent.The coagulation effect on...Read more
Enhanced-Electrocoagulation For Organic Matter Removal From Surface Drinking Water Sources: Operational Parameters And Energy Consumption
(Corresponding) Daraei H., Intwala P., Awad J., Bertone E., Chow C., Duan J., Stewart R., Leuuwen J.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this study, an Enhanced Electro-Coagulation (En-EC) technique is described for the removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from surface drinking water sources. Assessment of the En-EC technique included investigation of the impacts of operational factors on the organic removal efficiency (R%)...Read more

Effect of water extractable organic matter from Pamvotis lake sediment on three psychoactive drugs under simulated solar light
JİMÉNEZ-HOLGADO C., (Corresponding) SAKKAS V., RICHARD C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Psychoactive drugs are classified as contaminants of emerging concern but there is limited information on their fate in surface waters. Here, we studied the fate of three drugs (sertraline, clozapine and citalopram) upon irradiation in the presence of the Pamvotis lake organic matter (WEOM)...Read more

The effect of incorporating biosolids on soil quality after cotton crop management
(Corresponding) Giannakopoulos E., Makrygianni E., Evangelou E., Salachas G.
Topic:
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
pilot sewage sludge (also known as “biosolids”, BS) application of 7,000 kg/ha (dry weight) was performed in the area of Lamia prefecture, central Greece, in two fields cultivated with Cotton. BS was very rich in organic matter (75%) and had high concentrations of nutrients, with all heavy metals...Read more

Quality evaluation of composts in the Greek market
(Corresponding) GYPARAKIS S., MARAGKAKI A., MANIOS T.
Topic:
Biowaste
In recent years, many composting products of various organic residues have been placed on the Greek market. Some of the benefits of composting, in addition to protecting the environment, are saving money, reducing wastes, improving soil quality and further complying with EU environmental rules...Read more
Solar parks effect on soil properties: Initial results
Du Hamel A., Papadopoulos A., (Corresponding) Pantera A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Solar power generation in Greece has only been increasing since the 1980s to become the main source of renewable energy. Today, around 4.1 million m2 of Greek land is covered by solar parks. This article starts with a literature review on how the photovoltaic panels impact their environment and on...Read more

Unveiling the transformation of dissolved organic matter in drinking water treatments based on FT-ICR-MS and spectral analysis
Yueting W., (Corresponding) Hang X., Tianpei M.
Topic:
Water treatment
The use of fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICR MS) and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) systematically provide more comprehensive information on the changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition and characteristic in water treatments. Therefore,...Read more
