Removal of PFAS from wastewater by bio-waste adsorbent: material characterization and adsorption kinetic study
(Corresponding) Bavasso I., Bracciale M., Sbardella F., Di Palma L., Marco S.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are considered emerging contaminants and have been increased their attention due to their distribution in water body. These compounds are acid and characterized by a thermal stability to make them resistant to degradation processes. Activities such as...Read more
Evaluation phytotoxic effects and decolorization of simulated and real textile wastewaters by UV/H2O2
Quiceno Gómez L., Hernández Gallo M., Cardona Rendón L., Arroyave Quiceno C., (Corresponding) Aristizábal Castrillón A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The discharge of dyes in aquatic ecosystems is of environmental concern due to intense coloration that decrease photosynthetic activity and the possible toxic effects (Hao et al., 2000). Therefore, the development and understanding of processes for the removal of textile dyes in wastewaters, like...Read more
MONITORING OF TREATED DOMESTIC WASTE WATER QUALITY
Poulli K., (Corresponding) Ero R., Kozakou S., Michael N., Demetriou E., Christofidou M., Aletrari M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Cyprus is experiencing severe water supply deficiency. Particularly in summer months the situation is aggravated mainly due to low precipitation, high evaporation and increased demands for irrigation and tourisms. The use of treated wastewaters for environmental purposes such as recharging aquifers...Read more
Triclosan occurrence in European Sewage Treatment Plants and risk assessment for the European rivers
Thomaidi V., Matsoukas C., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The purpose of this study was to estimate the environmental risk associated with the existence of triclosan (TCS) released from municipal wastewater in the European rivers. A literature review was held to record the concentration levels of TCS in effluents of European Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs...Read more

Pretreatment of antibiotics-contaminated waste biological sludge by ozonation
Boševski I., (Corresponding) Kalčikova G., Derco J., Žgajnar Gotvajn A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Ozonation was studied as a pretreatment method for a waste biological sludge, contaminated with large amounts of globally used antibiotics; tiamulin, levofloxacin and amoxicillin. At the concentrations of over 100 mg L-1, these antibiotics were found to inhibit biogas production (up to 50%), which...Read more
Printing ink wastewater treatment using electrocoagulation in lab- and pilot-scale
Papadopoulos K., Argyriou R., Economou C., Tatoulis T., Tekerlekopoulou A., (Corresponding) Vayenas D.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Packaging paper wastewaters, stemming mainly from the dyeing sector of the production process (where printing inks are utilized), are characterized by high concentrations of organic matter, intense color and almost zero biodegradability factor. These physicochemical characteristics, in combination...Read more
Keywords:
printing ink wastewater; electrocoagulation; chemical oxygen demand; color
Biotreatment of Brewery Wastewater Using the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya sp.
Papadopoulos K., Economou C., Moustaka-Gouni M., Tekerlekopoulou A., Aggelis G., (Corresponding) Vayenas D.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Brewery wastewater is generated from the beer brewing process in large amounts (4-8 m3 per m3 of beer produced). Brewery wastewater consists of high organic matter content, significant nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and easily biodegraded compounds. Even though most biological treatment...Read more
Sustainable purification of greywater with green walls
(Corresponding) Boano F., Caruso A., Costamagna E., Fiore S., Demichelis F., Ridolfi L., Galvão A., Pisoeiro J., Rizzo A., Masi F.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
In this study, we describe a sustainable system for treatment and reuse of grey wastewater in urban areas through vertical green walls constructed on unused surfaces of buildings. The system integrates the benefits linked to the introduction of green spaces in urban areas with the advantages...Read more
Keywords:
domestic wastewater, green walls, greywater treatment, nature-based solutions, sustainable water management
(Corresponding) Innocenzi V., Prisciandaro M., Vegliò F.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In the present work, the potentiality of the hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) for the degradation of organic pollutants from industrial effluents has been studied. Cavitation is a phenomenon of formation, growth, collapse of microbubbles or cavities, in a few milli- to microseconds and releases large...Read more
Technical optimization of a treatment process on ABE effluent by membrane technologies
(Corresponding) Stoller M., Bravi M., Russo P., Bubbico R., Mazzarotta B., Sed G., Moroni M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
In the last decades, the interest in biofuel production is sensibly growing as a good source of sustainable energy and a valid alternative to fossil ones. One of the most promising biofuel is butanol and might be produced by starting from different substrates, such as second generation ones, that...Read more
