Identification and Quantification of Microplastic in Sewage systems by TED-GC-MS
(Corresponding) Altmann K., Goedecke C., Bannick C., Abusafia A., Scheid C., Steinmetz H., Braun U.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Over the last years, the number of publications reporting the amount of microplastic (MP) all over the world increased rapidly. But harmonised sampling, sample preparation and analysis strategies are missing. Commonly used methods are very time consuming and not comparable to each other. Hence,...Read more

Employing data-driven models in the optimization of chemical usage in water treatment plants
(Corresponding) Kandris K., Romas E., Tzimas A., Gavalakis E.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
One of the most challenging tasks in potable water production is the cost-efficient and consistent operation of water treatment plants (WTPs) that treat raw water of variable quality and quantity. To increase process stability and optimize the usage of resources, two data-driven models simulated...Read more

Pasture biodiversity after five years of establishment of a walnut silvopastoral system fertilized with different types of sewage sludge
ARIAS-MARTÍNEZ D., (Corresponding) MOSQUERA-LOSADA M., RIGUEIRO-RODRÍGUEZ A., FERREIRO-DOMÍNGUEZ N.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Silvopasture is the combination of woody vegetation with forage and animal production on the same land that allows the diversification of agricultural income and productivity. In the silvopastoral systems, the fertilisation with sewage sludge could increase tree growth and pasture production at the...Read more

Drinking water from surface and ground water: production costs and influence of the climate change
(Corresponding) Verlicchi P., Grillini V., Maffini F., Benini A., Casoni R., Mari M.
Topic:
Water treatment
Drinking water production may be affected by climate changes (i.e. intense rainfall events and high temperature periods) which impact on the availability and quality of the water source, above all surface water bodies. Efforts are being made to adopt the best strategies in the drinking water...Read more

Impact of Fatty Waste on Anaerobic Digestion of Sewage Sludge at a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant - A Case Study
(Corresponding) Umiejewska K., Retman M., Lech P.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
Anaerobic digestion is a common method for utilization of sewage sludge at large-scale wastewater treatment plants. This process generates biogas, which is a source of renewable energy. Intensification of biogas production can be achieved, for example, through co-digestion, with fatty waste...Read more

OTAER biotechnology: a new pathway of reaching the Zero Net Carbon in Odours Treatment
(Corresponding) Romano F., Mariniello A., Oliva G., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V., Zarra T.
Topic:
Sustainability & the SDGs
Emissions of odours into ambient air represent a serious problem and cause for conflict, due to the effects they cause on the population and on the exposed environment. Their treatment is therefore a priority. The approach currently pursued by the conventional odour treatment technologies is...Read more
