Do Environment-related technologies strengthen the competitiveness of local systems?
De Noni I., Ganzaroli A., (Corresponding) Orsi L.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
Environmental innovation is considered one of the key drivers of sustainable development and economic growth. However, we still know very little about the organizational factors underling the development of this category of innovations and their relative competitive effect. In this paper, we focus...Read more

Thermal swing adsorption for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Zgureva D., Miteva S., Marinov I., Lazarova H., Popova M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The advantages of post-combustion capture of CO2 based on physical adsorption have been extensively studied in the last years regarding to the economy, environmental compatibility, and process’ efficiency. The industrialization of the process involves the construction of adsorption columns in which...Read more

Comparative studies of the equilibrium adsorption of CO2 onto coal ash zeolites Na-X and Na-Ca-X
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Marinov I., Miteva S., Zgureva D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Coal-fired Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) are the main source of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, but they also generate huge amounts of solid by-products, including fly ash (FA). A modern strategy for sustainable energy production is to improve the ecology of the TPPs by developing...Read more

Life cycle assessment analysis for remediation technology choice: a case study
(Corresponding) de Folly d'Auris A., Baric M., Tonziello J.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) may be helpful in the choice of a remediation technology, because remediation itself entails impacts. Presently, government and public institutions involved in the decisional workflow focused their attention on minimizing risks at site and for the receptors but do not...Read more
Reduction of Halogenated Organic Compounds in Water: Comparison of Available Reduction Systems based on Cu, Pd and ZVI
(Corresponding) Shee A., Kopinke F., Mackenzie K.
Topic:
Water treatment
Catalysts on the basis of copper (Cu) and the reducing agent borohydride (BH4-) have been successfully used for reduction of chlorinated aliphatics with low substitution degree which are usually resistant to zero-valent iron (ZVI) and hydrodehalogenation catalysts, such as Pd. Reactivity screening...Read more
Sustainable Highways: The challenges of the future
(Corresponding) Kehagia F.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Road transport and infrastructure are keys to the evolution and prosperity of modern society. Connecting people and places, goods and services in safe, efficient, and sustainable way is essential for creating and maintaining sustainable and inclusive growth across society and the economy. A...Read more
PFAS removal performance of novel technologies for treatment of firefighting water and groundwater
(Corresponding) Hjort M., Dalmijn J., Roest K., ter Laak T., Vaiopoulou E.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of widely used man-made organic chemical substances. PFAS have been used because of their particular physicochemical properties: most are stable at high temperatures, recalcitrant to chemical oxidation and biological degradation, and act as a...Read more
Occurrence and fate of OMPs and ARGs in innovative full-scale WWTPs
(Corresponding) Rivadulla M., Suarez S., Garrido J., Omil F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The presence of antibiotic resistance determinants in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) presents a potential risk for human health and for the environment (Manaia et al., 2018). The scientific knowledge related to this topic is still limited, while new technologies are being implemented to reduce...Read more
