Applying solar distillation for the sustainable management of olive mill wastewater
Mastoras P., Gatidou G., Vakalis S., Fountoulakis M., Haralampopoulos D., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Olive mill wastewater (OMWW) is a major by-product of olive oil production industry. Its chemical characteristics (high concentrations of COD and TSS, low pH value, existence of total phenols at the range of some ppm) does not allow its efficient treatment using conventional physiochemical or...Read more

Catalytic reduction of Cr(VI) using recovered Silicon from end-of-life photovoltaic panels as a catalyst
Pavlopoulos C., Kyriakopoulou V., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
As installed photovoltaic panels (PVP) approach their end of life, the need for a sustainable recovery plan becomes imperative. This work aims to reuse Silicon from End-of-Life PVP as a potential catalyst/photocatalyst for wastewater treatment. PVPs were pretreated thermally (550°C for 30 min). The...Read more
Nutrients recovery from anaerobic digestion effluent for the production of microalgae biomass
(Corresponding) Psachoulia P., Schortsianiti S., Dergiade I., Chatzidoukas C., Samaras P.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The efficient management of anaerobic digestion effluents (ADEs) from biogas plants has raised increasing environmental concerns, as a result of their high content in nutrients, mostly in the form of NH4- and PO4-. Their discharge to farmlands is restricted due to irrigation guidelines, while...Read more
AliCy as Extractant to Remove Iron from Copper-Free Extreme AMD for Further Extraction of Zinc
Nobahar A., Melka A., Neves L., Carlier J., (Corresponding) Costa M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
A previous work showed that copper can be specifically extracted from acid mine drainage (AMD) classified as high-acid and extreme-metals (pH 1.19, ~63 g/L Fe, ~6.5 g/L Al, ~5.3 g/L Cu, ~1.9 g/L Zn and ~0.1 g/L Mn), using 30% (v/v) Acorga M5640 in Shell GTL (a kerosene like solvent) as extractant...Read more
Oxic-Settling-Anaerobic under intermittent aeration: effect on system performance, sludge minimization and greenhouse gas emissions
Dı Trapanı D., Cosenza A., (Corresponding) Bosco Mofatto P., Mannina G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out on a pilot scale activated sludge system operated under intermittent aeration and fed with real wastewater at the Water Resource Recovery Facility of Palermo University (Italy). The experimental campaign was divided into two...Read more
