Biosolids as soil-amendment: evaluation of nutrient leaching in loamy-silty soil
(Corresponding) Venegas M., Fernandez G., Vidal G.
Topic:
Biowaste
Municipal sewage sludge is a by-product of wastewater treatment. The amount of sewage sludge has increased with the construction and expansion of wastewater treatment plants, while stricter policies have limited its disposal. Anaerobic digestion is a worldwide technology used in sewage sludge...Read more
A comparative assessment of alkali-activated stabilisers including waste materials, for the treatment of swelling-shrinking soils
(Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gray C., Gunn M.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Swelling-shrinking soils (also known as expansive soils) experience very considerable volume changes upon changes in moisture content, thus causing major damages to lightweight structures, pavements, slopes and utilities. To counteract this problem chemical stabilisation of this type of soil with...Read more

Investigating the Performance of Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Primary Sludge and Acid Whey Using a Twin Pilot Scale System
(Corresponding) Gkoumas F., Tzivelou E., Gravanis Z., Mamais D., Malamis S., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) has proven to be an effective method for transforming organic waste into biogas, a renewable energy source that can play a crucial role in reducing our dependence on finite fossil fuels. Despite its widespread use, mono-digestion, where a single substrate is utilized, is...Read more
Heavy metal assessment in vineyard sludge. Copper lixiviation and recovery studies.
(Corresponding) YOHAI L., GARRIDO MOLINA C., RESINA GALLEGO M., LÓPEZ MESAS M., VALIENTE M.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The use of copper-based compounds to prevent fungi diseases in vineyards have contributed to heavy metal accumulation in soil, vegetation and waste, causing a serious environmental and agro-industrial problem. One main issue is the waste generated both during and after wine production. This waste...Read more
