Ηexavalent chromium reduction in a photocatalytic membrane reactor in the presence of organic acids
(Corresponding) Sarasidis V., Kyriakou E., Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This study deals with the photocatalytic reduction of carcinogenic hexavalent chromium, encountered in industrial effluents and surface waters, to much less toxic and harmful trivalent form. Experiments were performed in a pilot scale Photocatalytic Membrane Reactor employing titanium dioxide...Read more
Application of solar photo-Fenton oxidation coupled with granular activated carbon as a viable option for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern in the urban wastewater of India
Karaolia P., Korelidou A., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
It has been estimated that approximately 62 billion litres of sewage are generated every day in India, with only 37% of sewage being treated (Saxena et al., 2021). Wastewater treatment issues such as dysfunctional UWTPs with many of them operating at low service levels compared to the design...Read more
On the Fenton oxidation of polystyrene microplastics
(Corresponding) Munoz M., Ortiz D., Nieto-Sandoval J., Romera-Castillo C., de Pedro Z., Casas J.
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

Nanoplastics mineralization by the intensified photo-Fenton process
(Corresponding) Ortiz D., Munoz M., Carbajo J., M. de Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic systems has become one of the most challenging environmental issues nowadays. Although advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been widely studied for the treatment of persistent contaminants in water, their...Read more

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
Management of Table Olive Wastewater (TOWW) in Turkey
(Corresponding) Dolgen D., Alpaslan M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Table olive is very important agricultural product for Turkey. It has a great market share in the country and also have high export potential. Management of table olive wastewater (TOWW) is an emerging and important issue, since large volumes of TOWW are discharged with high concentrations of...Read more
Application of KO2/ClO- advanced oxidation process to degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on example of phenanthrene
(Corresponding) Nowakowski M., Andrzejewski P., Wolski R.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Novel advanced oxidation process based on KO2 and ClO- was applied to degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It is a wide group of compounds which are negative impact on human health. Phenanthrene was chosen to represent this group of compounds due to its relatively good solubility in...Read more
