Monitoring of the main operational parameters of Aposelemis Water Treatment Plant (WTP).
(Corresponding) GYPARAKIS S., DIAMADOPOULOS E.
Topic:
Water treatment
Rising population, increased industrial and agricultural water usage as well as climate changes have brought great challenges to water supply of adequate quality and quantity. Thus, the water treatment industry has nowadays a greater emphasis on the optimization of water treatment plants to improve...Read more
Microbiological treatment of water by cold plasma at atmospheric pressure
(Corresponding) Cubas A., Machado M., Moecke E.
Topic:
Water treatment
Ensuring the world's population access to drinking water is one of the millennium's challenges, for although our planet is made up of 70% of water, poor distribution and water quality are problems that concern world leaders, being among the objectives of development 2030 agenda set by the...Read more

Radiation-induced degradation products of 2-methyl isoborneol and geosmin: the role of different reactive species
CHRISTOPHORIDIS C., PESTANA C., LAWTON L., (Corresponding) HISKIA A.
Topic:
Water treatment
Gamma radiolysis can serve as an effective method for the degradation of organic water pollutants, due to the production of reactive species, oxidative (OH•, OOH•, O2•-) or reductive (eaq-, H•). The application of scavengers enables the selective production of these species. Our aim was to explore...Read more

Topic:
Water treatment
As an obstacle against the widespread application of membranes in larger scales, fouling via different materials could cause a severe decline in water permeation. Herein, we fabricated a novel mechanically-stable electro-conductive membrane by simple pressure-assisted laminating of reduced Graphene...Read more

Monitoring and treatment of St. George lake to mitigate Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (cyano-HABs)
(Corresponding) Antoniou M., Keliri E., Paraskeva C., Sofokleous A., Brient L., Chernova E., Dziga D., Sukenik A.
Topic:
Water treatment
This study aimed to monitor St. George Lake, located in the Athalassa National Forest Park of Cyprus, in order to correlate its trophic condition with its water quality characteristics and identify the key environmental variables driving cyanobacteria blooming and their cyanotoxicity. The...Read more
Efficiency of Arsenic Removal from Water Using Fe-Modified Biochar from Date-Palm-Leaves Combined with Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) Monitoring
Siddiq O., (Corresponding) Tawabini B., Kirmizakis P., Kalderis D., Ntarlagiannis D., Soupios P.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this study, lab-scale column batch adsorption experiments were conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of Iron-modified Biochar (Fe-BC) produced from date-palm leaves at 500oC to remove arsenic (As) from contaminated water. The As removal capacity were monitored by both chemical analysis and...Read more
Keywords:
Biochar, spectral induced polarization, arsenic, water treatment
This study investigated the removal of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) in aqueous solution using iron-coated pomelo peel (ICPP). Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of initial pH values (2.0–10), contact time (1–1440 minutes), initial concentration (0.05–5 mg...Read more

Nutrient Removal from Stormwater using Australian Native Plants in Constructed Floating Wetland
(Corresponding) Nuruzzaman M., Anwar A., Sarukkalige R.
Topic:
Water treatment
Stormwater pollution causes excessive nutrient influx to rivers and lakes, which can trigger algal bloom and subsequent damages to the freshwater ecosystem. Constructed Floating Wetland (CFW), a cost-effective technology, uses aquatic plants in a hydroponic system to strip nutrients from stormwater...Read more
Synthesis of Fe3O4/Carbon Quantum Dots Hybrid for Efficient Removal of Congo Red Dye from Aqueous Solution
(Corresponding) Zourou A., Axarli V., Falara P., Ntziouni A., Kordatos K.
Topic:
Water treatment
During the past decades, the release of toxic pollutants into aquatic environment has continuously increased due to rapid industrialization and civilization. The presence of organic dyes, such as Congo Red (CR), can be dangerous to both human and aquatic life. Therefore, their removal is an...Read more
