Determination of Emerging Contaminants in Surface Water Resources of EYDAP following wide-scope Target and Non-Target Screening
Nikolopoulou V., Nika M., Aalizadeh R., Miskaki P., Kaloudis T., Deftereos N., Avagianos C., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
The aim of the study was to perform extended monitoring of emerging contaminants in the water samples from three reservoirs of drinking water of EYDAP, Evinos, Mornos and Marathonas. Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) by mixed-mode sorbent was used during the sample preparation to ensure the extraction...Read more

Immobilized rGO/TiO2 photocatalyst for water purification
Zouzelka R., Brabec L., Remzova M., (Corresponding) Rathousky J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The preparation of immobilized graphene–based photocatalyst layers is highly desired for environmental applications. In this study, the preparation of an immobilized reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/TiO2 composite by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was optimized. It enabled quantitative deposition...Read more

Mitigation of Microcystis sp. with metallic peroxide granules: matrix effect on hydrogen peroxide release kinetics and toxicity study on invertebrates
Keliri E., Christofi M., Efstathiou N., (Corresponding) Antoniou M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
An array of mitigation strategies has been applied over the years for toxic blue-green algae with the most recent one to be hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide has been widely used as an alternative to copper algaecides, and it is perceived as a more environmentally friendly option for...Read more

Keliri E., Hadjiantonis A., Demosthenous P., (Corresponding) Antoniou M.
Topic:
Process understanding through innovative sensors and remote sensing
Automated In-Situ Cyanotoxin Assessment Toolbox for Real-Time Surface Water Monitoring, CYanoBox, is a 3-year project, coordinated by the innovation and technology company CyRIC, for the development of novel biosensors, and reliable at-source detection of toxic metabolites. The project aims to...Read more
Urban water bodies and recreational opportunities in Finland
(Corresponding) Alikhani S., Nummi P., Ojala A.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Urban water bodies provide recreational opportunities to residents such as swimming, boating, fishing and spending leisure time. The recreational opportunities offered by water bodies contributes to both physical and mental health. In Finland, there are almost unlimited possibilities to enjoy water...Read more

Gravity-driven oil/water separation using PVDF-HFP electrospun nanofiber membranes
Mavukkandy M., Ibrahim Y., Almarzooqi F., Naddeo V., Alhseinat E., Karanikolos G., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
With increasing industrialization and lenient waste disposal practices, oil-contaminated wastewater has become a significant environmental concern. Oil spills associated with oil exploration and transportation will continue to pose an ecological threat as long as we depend on oil for energy needs...Read more

Introducing UWAB 2.0. and exploring next steps for agent based modelling in domestic water demand.
(Corresponding) Koutiva I., Eftaxias K., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Domestic water consumption projections are needed to manage the urban water supply system in different spatiotemporal resolutions depending on the type of the supported decision. For instance, operational decisions require predictions of fine resolution (hourly or lower), while tactical and...Read more
Efficiency of Arsenic Removal from Water Using Fe-Modified Biochar from Date-Palm-Leaves Combined with Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) Monitoring
Siddiq O., (Corresponding) Tawabini B., Kirmizakis P., Kalderis D., Ntarlagiannis D., Soupios P.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this study, lab-scale column batch adsorption experiments were conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of Iron-modified Biochar (Fe-BC) produced from date-palm leaves at 500oC to remove arsenic (As) from contaminated water. The As removal capacity were monitored by both chemical analysis and...Read more

Sustainable water management in industry using Industrial Water Footprint
(Corresponding) Nydrioti I., Grigoropoulou H.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Large quantities of water are consumed directly or indirectly by production and distribution plants. Industries are rapidly required to comply with the principles of sustainable development through United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), focusing on sustainable water management,...Read more

A stochastic approach to resilience assessment of urban water systems from source to tap.
(Corresponding) Nikolopoulos D., Kossieris P., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
The design of urban water systems faces long-term uncertainties in a multitude of parameters, from the hydroclimatic and socioeconomic realms, such as population growth, climate change and shifting demand patterns. To analyze such systems in a holistic way, many models for sub-systems are typically...Read more
