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

Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
This work aims at evaluating the fate of polystyrene (PS) microplastics along Fenton oxidation. Experiments were carried out under relatively severe operating conditions (80 ºC) given the high persistence of these solids to oxidation. Slight mass losses (up to 10%) were found after the Fenton...Read more

Evaluation of phytotoxicity of landfill leachates after treatment with UV radiation based processes
Grilla E., Isari E., (Corresponding) Kokkinos P., Parthenidis P., Evgenidou E., Lambropoulou D., Kalavrouziotis I.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of reuse landfill leachates after advanced treatment in agriculture. UV/Fenton and Fenton processes were applied in the treatment of a stabilized (L2) and a medium (L1) landfill leachate. In addition to above data, phytotoxicity tests were...Read more
