Investigating the accumulation of 115 pharmaceutical compounds in the water-soil-plant continuum and the leaching potential using lysimeters irrigated with wastewater from a CAS and MBR system, under real-field conditions
Iakovides I., Beretsou V., Christou A., Gkotsis G., Nika M., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Treated wastewater (TWW) reuse for irrigation is recognized as one of the indispensable practices for the mitigation of water scarcity. However, the presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in TWW act as a limiting factor in effectively applying the reuse practices. The possible uptake...Read more
Production and characterization of microalgal biomass from dairy wastewater
Iliopoulou A., Zkeri E., Panara A., Dasenaki M., Aloupi M., Fountoulakis M., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
During the last decade, a large scientific effort has been directed towards the cultivation of microalgae in dairy wastewater. Among different microalgal species, Chlorella sorokiniana is a small, fast-growing, robust microalgae that can be grown under mixotrophic conditions. In the current study,...Read more
Condensate originating from household food waste as a substrate for Microbial Fuel Cells
Kamperidis T., Pandis P., Vlachaki E., (Corresponding) Tremouli A., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioreactor that converts the chemical energy of the bonds of organic compounds to electrical energy, through the catalytic reactions of microorganisms. Under anaerobic conditions various substrates have been examined using MFC technology. This study examines the...Read more

Occurrence and potential accumulation of pharmaceuticals in agricultural soils treated with wastewater under real-world environmental conditions in Cyprus
Beretsou V., Iakovides I., Nika M., Gkotsis G., Christou A., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Due to water supply shortages that result from climate change, urbanization, regional droughts and pollution, treated wastewater (TWW) is commonly used to irrigate agricultural land in arid and semi-arid regions. Compared to aquatic systems, contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) only scarcely...Read more
Quantitative target screening and soil bioavailability assessment as tools to assess risks associated with wastewater reuse for irrigation
Beretsou V., Nika M., Manoli K., Lundy L., Thomaidis N., Revitt M., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Multi-residue analysis of various classes of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) present in wastewater, along with improvements in analytical methodologies, may allow for future application of promising wastewater tracers, thus providing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators and...Read more

Investigating the effect of different NaCl concentrations as draw solution used to concentrate synthetic municipal wastewater in a Forward Osmosis system
(Corresponding) Kappa S., Themeli E., Noutsopoulos C., Malamis S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The main bottleneck towards resource and energy valorization of municipal wastewater is the low strength of sewage; characterized by low organic matter and nutrient concentrations. In this study, a bench scale Forward Osmosis (FO) system with a cellulose triacetate membrane (CTA) was used as a pre-...Read more

Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
Biodegradability is a growing interest in the field of research in Bioplastics. To what extent are we fully aware of the benign impact Bioplastic has on the environment, especially in water?
Wastewater treatment plants are the primary source of microplastic release in the hydrographical...Read more
The effect of catalysts MnO2, activated carbon and fly ash on the performance of single-chamber Microbial Fuel Cells
(Corresponding) Tremouli A., Kamperidis T., Pandis P., Stathopoulos V., Ieropoulos I., Argirusis C., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are bioelectrochemical systems that convert the chemical energy contained in waste to electricity, using bacteria as catalysts. In order to boost the power output of MFCs, various approaches are feasible. This study examines the effect of using MnO2, activated carbon and...Read more
Optimum technical operating conditions and treatments for the production of high-purity struvite fertilizer from livestock wastewater.
Kallikazarou N., Koutsokeras L., Constantinide E., Constantinides G., (Corresponding) Antoniou M.
Topic:
Biowaste
Inadequate treatment of nutrient-rich waste streams originating from human activities such as agriculture, animal breeding, urbanization, and industrialization causes an array of environmental problems. Among them are eutrophication of surface water, nutrients and pathogens leaching into...Read more
Anaerobic Digestion of Municipal Wastewater (MWW) in a Periodic Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (PABR)
Zarkaliou A., Kougias C., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The scope of this work is to study the treatment of municipal wastewater in a Periodic Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (PABR). PABR is an innovative, high-rate bioreactor, designed to operate under high organic loadings. Apart from the Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) an important operational parameter is...Read more
