Pilot-scale membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment using innovative encapsulated self-forming dynamic membrane
Castrogiovanni F., Borea L., HASAN S., Belgiorno V., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The use of membrane bioreactors (MBR) is a promising technique for wastewater treatment that manages to respect the restrictive limits imposed by regulations.
However, during the filtration process membranes are subject to fouling which requires additional costs for cleaning and replacing the...Read more

Novel hybrid technology for the sustainable development of the circular economy in urban agriculture
(Corresponding) Giaquinto D., Senatore V., Oliva G., Nesticò A., Hasan S., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Climate change and environmental pollution are just some of the main challenges to be addressed. A number of actions have been taken, in particular the circular economy has proved to be among the most effective in overcoming the traditional approach of the linear economy. Circular economy means not...Read more
The role of biomass and biowaste in the green energy transition of islands and an introduction to the μgas-to-grid concept
(Corresponding) Vakalis S., Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The green transition of the energy sector in islands has always been a challenging task. The connectivity of islands with the (mainland) central grid can be problematic, especially when the distance is significant. In such cases, isolated electrical grids need to be developed on the islands, and...Read more

Environmental LCA and Carbon Footprint of Cauliflower as Produced in Southeast Spain
Rasines L., San Miguel G., Molina-García Á., Artés-Hernández F., Hontoria E., (Corresponding) Aguayo E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Southern Spain has an optimal climate for growing fruits and vegetables. Over 39,534 ha are currently dedicated to the production of cauliflower and broccoli in Spain, 33% of which correspond to the Region of Murcia. This type of intensive agriculture causes environmental impacts which must be...Read more
Application of cutting-edge environmental technologies for the development of resilient and sustainable cities
(Corresponding) Senatore V., Giaquinto D., Zarra T., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The development of resilient and sustainable cities emerged as a solution to tackle the several challenges arising from the exponential growth of urban areas population worldwide. The implementation of environmental technologies represents a solution to minimize negative impacts of crowded cities...Read more
An integrated and comprehensive tool to assess urban mobility strategies
(Corresponding) Huertas J., Huertas M.
Topic:
Air pollution
Transport planning is a challenging topic to be addressed in urban areas in order to create sustainable cities, due to the adverse health effects, noise and congestions generated by the transport sector. Therefore, policymakers require technical tools that allow to take regulatory transport...Read more

Towards decentralizing the energy system: production of bioenergy and bioproducts via anaerobic digestion
(Corresponding) VLACHOKOSTAS C., MICHAILIDOU A., (Corresponding) ACHILLAS C., (Corresponding) MOUSSIOPOULOS N.
Topic:
Biowaste
The model of circular economy has gained worldwide interest. Within its concept, biodegradable waste is viewed as a beneficial resource that needs to be re-introduced in the supply chains. The use of raw materials, energy, and water is also to be minimized. Undeniably, a strong link exists between...Read more
