Ηexavalent chromium reduction in a photocatalytic membrane reactor in the presence of organic acids
(Corresponding) Sarasidis V., Kyriakou E., Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This study deals with the photocatalytic reduction of carcinogenic hexavalent chromium, encountered in industrial effluents and surface waters, to much less toxic and harmful trivalent form. Experiments were performed in a pilot scale Photocatalytic Membrane Reactor employing titanium dioxide...Read more
The potential impact of an implementation of microalgae-based wastewater treatment on the energy balance of a municipal WWTP in Central Europe
(Corresponding) Hasport N., Krahe D., Kuchendorf C., Theilen U., Beier S.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The integration of a photobioreactor for wastewater treatment by microalgae is proposed as a future alternative for cost-efficient and environmentally friendly nitrogen and phosphorous removal in municipal WWTPs. The high growth rates and higher biogas yields (compared to conventional sewage sludge...Read more

Presence and removal of Organic Micropollutants in 8 different Wastewater Treatment Plants and Risk Assessment of treated effluent
(Corresponding) Di Marcantonio C., Chiavola A., Meccoli L., Leoni S., Calchetti T., Gioia V., Mancini M., Frugis A., Cecchini G., Ceci C., Spizzirri M., Boni M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Increasing attention has been paid in the recent years to the presence of Organic MicroPollutants (OMPs) in water, being considered a source of a high risk for public health and environment (Rodriguez-Narvaez et al., 2017). The present study belongs to a wide research activity carried out since...Read more
Risk analysis of pathogenic organisms during soil-aquifer treatment: application to a coastal aquifer in Cyprus
(Corresponding) Panagiotou C., Karaolia P., Papanastasiou P., Sprenger C.
Topic:
Water treatment
A quantitative microbial risk analysis of Ezousa (Cyprus) Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) site is presented herein to evaluate the health risks associated with the pathogenic fraction of three microorganisms: the bacterium Escherichia Coli (E. Coli), the Rotavirus and the protozoan Giardia...Read more
Use of ornamental plants in floating treatment wetlands for greywater treatment in buildings: preliminary results
(Corresponding) Stefanatou A., Schiza S., Petousi I., Rizzo A., Masi F., Fyllas N., Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs), have been recognized by many researchers for their efficiency in removing pollutants and thus improving wastewater quality. Despite their wide use for treating various types of wastewater, little is known about their efficiency in greywater treatment. In this...Read more
Application of solar photo-Fenton oxidation coupled with granular activated carbon as a viable option for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern in the urban wastewater of India
Karaolia P., Korelidou A., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
It has been estimated that approximately 62 billion litres of sewage are generated every day in India, with only 37% of sewage being treated (Saxena et al., 2021). Wastewater treatment issues such as dysfunctional UWTPs with many of them operating at low service levels compared to the design...Read more
APOC technology as an eco-innovative decentralized sanitation system for wastewater treatment and reuse facilities in the rural locality of Bent Saidane-NE Tunisia
(Corresponding) Chaabane S., Ghattassi A., Mensi K., M'hiri F., Plakas K.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS) in rural areas can be a smart alternative that helps communities to strengthen rural sanitation in improving clean water and sanitation management. To address these challenges, AquaCycle project, funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC MED...Read more

Monitoring the algae biomass growth developed on hollow fiber membrane bioreactor
Novoa A., (Corresponding) Luca F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This work focuses on using non-destructive imaging techniques to monitor in-situ the formation of algae biomass on hollow fiber membrane bioreactor treating wastewater. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was employed to acquire cross-sectional scans of the algae growth in real-time under continuous...Read more
Being a metropolis, Istanbul requires a well-functioning urban service system. Water supply is among the most important infrastructures in this city that has around 15-16 million habitants. There are many water treatment plants all around Istanbul to facilitate healthy water supply to people. On...Read more
