Rainwater collection and treatment on green roofs using aromatic plants in a Mediterranean region.

(Corresponding) Schiza S., Petsis K., Tsiara Z., Petousi I., Fountoulakis M.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
For modern cities, green roofs provide important economic, environmental and social possibilities. They are a sustainable ecological technology. The present research study assesses the use of two substrates with different compositions for the growth of two aromatic plants (Lavandula dentata and...Read more

An easy numerical evaluation of the DM growth in Self-Forming Dynamic Membrane Bioreactors (SFD MBR) for Wastewater Treatment

Castrogiovanni F., (Corresponding) Salerno C., Berardi G., Tumolo M., Pollice A.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
In the last years, self-forming dynamic membranes (SFD MBR) revealed as one of the most innovative technological solutions for wastewater treatment. In these systems, filtration takes place through a cake layer (Dynamic Membrane, DM) supported by a 10-200 µm filter mesh. Filtration efficiency may...Read more

Technologies for the Removal of Microplastics from Wastewater: A Short Review

(Corresponding) Corpuz M., Buonerba A., Napodano P., Hasan S., Choo K., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic: 
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
One of the major routes of microplastics (MPs) to the environment is through the wastewater treatment plants’ (WWTPs) discharge to water bodies. Due to their dimensions (< 5mm), MPs tend to be ingested by aquatic species, and eventually, may cause adverse impacts on the environment and to human...Read more

Modelling Closed-Water Loops in the Process Industries

(Corresponding) Karkou E., Savvakis N., Aryblia M., Arampatzis G.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Global water scarcity poses a significant challenge for the process industry, especially in water-stressed areas. Population growth and rapid industrialization make evident the necessity to incorporate sustainable and efficient water management strategies in the industrial sector. This study aims...Read more

“AquaSPICE – Advancing Sustainability of Process Industries through Digital and Circular Water Use Innovations”

(Corresponding) Arampatzis G.
Topic: 
EU Projects showcase
Either we rethink how we use water or we threaten the availability. Even though there is overall enough water to meet the world’s growing needs, it is necessary to make changes in how water is used, managed and shared. The EU-funded AquaSPICE project will increase awareness in resource efficiency...Read more

Investigative Study on the Effectivity of Plant-Based Coagulants for the Siltation Pond of an Aggregate Crushing Plant in Southern Luzon, Philippines

Angus F., (Corresponding) Clemente E., Ballesteros Jr. F.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
Water quality and treatment are becoming of increasing concern. It is important to develop renewable bio-coagulants to treat turbid water. This study suggests plant-based coagulants as substitute for chemical coagulants. The plants used were Moringa oleifera (MO), Carica papaya (CP) seeds, and...Read more
