Synthesis of self-assembled graphene oxide (GO)/manganese oxide (MnO2) sulfonated-polyethersulfone (SPES) membranes for heavy metal removal from wastewater

Ibrahim Y., Wadi V., Ouda M., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
As the 21st century continues, water scarcity remains a significant burden to overcome in many regions. The treatment of industrial wastewater has great potential in providing adequate quantities of freshwater. To ensure safe usage of this water, heavy metal ions must be removed to avoid their...Read more

Applying solar distillation for the sustainable management of olive mill wastewater

Mastoras P., Gatidou G., Vakalis S., Fountoulakis M., Haralampopoulos D., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
Olive mill wastewater (OMWW) is a major by-product of olive oil production industry. Its chemical characteristics (high concentrations of COD and TSS, low pH value, existence of total phenols at the range of some ppm) does not allow its efficient treatment using conventional physiochemical or...Read more
