(Corresponding) Romanos G., Falaras P., Markellou E., Georgaki I., Kizis D., Karanasios E., Anagnostopoulous C.
Topic:
Water treatment
The agro-food industry is the main manufacturing industry in Europe, representing 14% of the total turnover and accounting for approximately 1.8% of Europe’s total water use. The absence of effective wastewater management approaches can lead to potential ecological ramifications including...Read more

Evaluation of Photocatalytic Materials for Water Purification: Overview of the New CEN Standard Test
Triantis T., Kaloudis T., (Corresponding) Hiskia A.
Topic:
Water treatment
TiO2 photocatalysis offers an attractive alternative to conventional water treatment technologies leading directly to the degradation of organic pollutants, compared to transferring them from one phase to another as in the case of membranes or activated carbon. There is an increasing interest on...Read more

Kinetics study of the MO adsorption and photocatalytic degradation using an effectively engineered HF photocatalyst
(Corresponding) Theodorakopoulos G., Katsaros F., Papageorgiou S., Romanos G.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this study, copper decorated photocatalysts (Degussa P25), were shaped in the form of ceramic hollow fibers (HFs) and their photocatalytic properties were investigated using Methyl Orange (MO), a prototype anionic pollutant. The abatement of the dye was tested in dark and under UV irradiation by...Read more

Photocatalytic elimination of water pollutants using innovative titania thin film heterostructures embedding carbon quantum dots
(Corresponding) Falara P., Zourou A., Ibrahim I., (Corresponding) Kordatos K.
Topic:
Water treatment
Titanium dioxide based photocatalysis is a well-established advanced oxidation process (AOP) that recently has expanded its borders comprising advanced reduction processes (ARPs) as well. To enhance the photocatalytic activity, titania heterostructures embedding semiconductors, or clays, or...Read more
