APPLICABILITY OF SULFATE RADICAL BASED ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESSES FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT
(Corresponding) Dilsizoğlu Akyol N., Ölmez Hancı T.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Natural Organic Matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of organic compounds that are naturally present in water sources. NOM itself is not toxic, but its presence can have negative impacts on the quality of drinking water. It is important to remove NOM from drinking water sources through various...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

Pilot scale investigation of an advanced photo-electro-chemical oxidation process for treatment of effluents from pesticides manufacturing plants
(Corresponding) Sarasidis V., Petsi P., Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This paper reports on the effectiveness of an innovative hybrid advanced oxidation process-scheme aiming to degrade recalcitrant organic compounds in industrial effluents. Following targeted experimental work, a pilot unit was developed/built combining two advanced oxidation processes, based on in-...Read more
Understanding the alteration of organic pollutants and microbiome profiles in a petrochemical wastewater biotreatment process
Wu F., (Corresponding) Deng F., Liu S., Hose G., Simon G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
A better understanding of the alteration of organic pollutants and microorganisms in wastewater biotreatment processes is essential for the elucidation of pollutant removal mechanisms. This study investigated the alteration of organic pollutants, microbial communities and functional genes in a...Read more

Biological Oxygen-dosed Activated Carbon (BODAC) filters - A bio-based treatment for wastewater reuse and reclamation
(Corresponding) Larasati A., Bernadet O., Pinela S., Meulepas R., Gagliano M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Water re-use from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) effluent has recently gained more attention. This effluent water usually contains nutrients and trace contaminants, such as organic micro-pollutants (OMPs). Conventional municipal WWTPs are not currently designed to completely remove...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

Unveiling the occurrence of organic micropollutants in different species of terrestrial mesocarnivores utilizing HRMS techniques
Boinis N., Diamanti K., Panagopoulou E., Gkotsis G., Maragkou N., Nika M., Vasilatos K., Höpker K., Schäfer H., Wieczorek M., Osterauer R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The introduction of organic micropollutants in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, which mainly originate from anthropogenic activities, is supported by overwhelming evidence from global studies conducted as early as the turn of the 20th century. A fraction of these xenobiotics, the regulated “...Read more
