New pillared clays for the removal of pollutants from wastewater by treatment with oxidation processes
(Corresponding) Kalmakhanova M., Massalimova B., Diaz de Tuesta J., Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The constant development of technological processes aggravates the problem of pollution, due to a significant change in the composition of effluents that makes necessary the development of new (and/or improvement of the existing) treatment methods and catalytic materials. In this sense, the use of...Read more
Effective separation of waste printed circuit boards using microwave-assisted organic swelling.
Monteiro B., Martelo L., Sousa P., Bastos M., (Corresponding) Soares H.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Nowadays, our lifestyle demands more electronics products, and this rapid development generated an increase in the amount of electronic waste (e-waste). Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) are components in all electronic devices and responsible for a high percentage of the total weight of the...Read more
Degradation of textile dyes in water by gas-liquid NSP-DBD plasma
MEROPOULIS S., (Corresponding) AGGELOPOULOS C.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Textile dyes represent some of the most complicated environmental pollutants due to their variety and complex structure. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is regarded as a highly competitive advanced oxidation process towards the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater. In this study, a gas-...Read more
The presence of organochlorinated pesticides in the marine environment of the Mediterranean Sea: A Systematic Review
TZOURTZOUKLI H., PETSAS A., (Corresponding) VAGI M.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Plant protection products, also known as pesticides, are chemical compounds that are used for the protcection of plants against pests, weeds and diseases which affect the quantinty and quality of agricultural products. The present study is a systematic review of the scientific literature regarding...Read more
Dairy farms management and carbon storage in the soil fractions
(Corresponding) Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Miranda M., Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The dairy sector is one of the main economic activities in the Spanish region of Galicia, located in the northwest of the country. In dairy farms, the type of farm management has a clear effect on climate change mitigation by modifying crucial processes such as carbon storage in the soil. This...Read more
Bioelectronics and Green Electronics for a clean Environment
(Corresponding) Ravariu C., Topor A., Mihaiescu D., Manea E.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Some directions of environmental tasks for Romania in collaboration with foreign partners for next decade are: (i) electric and electronic wastes recycling using sustainable future networks suppliers-materials conversion-production, in a chain of countries; (ii) strategies at group of countries...Read more

Preliminary Research on Removal of Organic Substances Contained in Wastewater from Plastic Lenses Production
(Corresponding) Umiejewska K., Różycki M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
More than 80 percent of all eyeglasses worn today have plastic lenses. Plastic lenses made of polycarbonate discs are created through the process of machining which requires the use of a coolant. During the production process, the rotating disc and blade are poured with a mixture of water and...Read more
Interactions between microplastics and organic pollutants: Effects on transport and bioaccumulation: from the lab to the environment
(Corresponding) Picó Y., Campo J., Alfarhan A., El-Sheikh M., Barceló D.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
Microplastics (MPs) have the ability to extract/preconcentrate other contaminants from water samples and could also act as vectors to other environmental compartments. The occurrence and distribution of MPs in different points of Al-Jubail, the most important industrial city, and the second biggest...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
