Adsorption technology in waste water treatment processes utilizing activated carbons as adsorbent materials prepared from waste tires: Recent research and trends in the removal of various toxic and persistent organic pollutants
(Corresponding) Vagi M., Petsas A.
Topic:
Green chemistry
Various toxic contaminants when are present in the environment pose a threat to the inhabitants of natural ecosystems owing to their non-biodegradable nature that increases their high toxicity towards non-target organisms. The large mass of solid wastes that are generated from waste rubber tires...Read more
Isolation and optimization of microbial consortia for the biodegradation of two persistent fluorinated fungicides
Alexandrino D., Mucha A., Almeida C., (Corresponding) Carvalho M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Microbial consortia capable of completely removing and defluorinating two persistent fluorinated fungicides, epoxiconazole (EPO) and fludioxonil (FLU), were enriched from an estuarine sediment and an agriculture soil. The enrichments were conducted along 6 months, during which the fungicides were...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
Solar photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical compounds using ZnSnO3/CB composites
Kouvelis k., Petala A., (Corresponding) Frontistis Z., Kondarides D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In this study, the activity of ZnSnO3 as a photocatalyst for the degradation of persistent micro–pollutants under simulated solar irradiation has been assessed. Zinc stannate (ZnSnO3), belongs to the class of ternary oxides and has a reported band gap of 2.4 eV. Due to its narrow band gap can be...Read more
