(Corresponding) Fuoco I., Apollaro C., Criscuoli A., De Rosa R., Figoli A.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this work, a commercial nanofiltration (NF) membrane, named SPR 10113, was used for the first time to treat a real F-contaminated groundwater (F= 8.9 mg/L) coming from deep crystalline aquifer of Calabria Region (Southern Italy), in order to verify its efficiency in terms of fluorine rejection...Read more

Modelling the operation of a Water Treatment Plant based on Artificial Neural Networks
(Corresponding) GYPARAKIS S., TRICHAKIS I., VAROUCHAKIS E., DIAMADOPOULOS E.
Topic:
Water treatment
The main purpose of this study is to model the operation of a Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) using its main operational and water quality parameters in a fast, easy and reliable way. This study is based on a large number of data from recent years (2019-2021). The DWTP has a maximum capacity...Read more
Risk analysis of pathogenic organisms during soil-aquifer treatment: application to a coastal aquifer in Cyprus
(Corresponding) Panagiotou C., Karaolia P., Papanastasiou P., Sprenger C.
Topic:
Water treatment
A quantitative microbial risk analysis of Ezousa (Cyprus) Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) site is presented herein to evaluate the health risks associated with the pathogenic fraction of three microorganisms: the bacterium Escherichia Coli (E. Coli), the Rotavirus and the protozoan Giardia...Read more
Being a metropolis, Istanbul requires a well-functioning urban service system. Water supply is among the most important infrastructures in this city that has around 15-16 million habitants. There are many water treatment plants all around Istanbul to facilitate healthy water supply to people. On...Read more

Continuous flow hydrodechlorination for micropollutants removal using an innovative Pd-based Catalytic Membrane Reactor
(Corresponding) Nieto-Sandoval J., Gomez-Herrero E., Munoz M., de Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Water treatment
The aim of this work is to develop a Pd-based Catalytic Membrane Reactor (Pd/CMR) for its application in organochlorinated micropollutants removal by hydrodechlorination (HDC). The external surface of a Al2O3 membrane was homogeneously decorated by Pd nanoparticles (0.2% wt.). The Pd/CMR developed...Read more
Application of catalytic hydrodehalogenation for the removal of brominated flame retardants
Nieto-Sandoval J., (Corresponding) Benito del Olmo R., Munoz M., De Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Water treatment
The aim of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of aqueous-phase catalytic hydrodehalogenation (HDH) for the fast and environmentally-friendly degradation of the flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). TBBPA is a pollutant of emerging concern characterized by a strong persistence that...Read more
Drinking water from surface and ground water: production costs and influence of the climate change
(Corresponding) Verlicchi P., Grillini V., Maffini F., Benini A., Casoni R., Mari M.
Topic:
Water treatment
Drinking water production may be affected by climate changes (i.e. intense rainfall events and high temperature periods) which impact on the availability and quality of the water source, above all surface water bodies. Efforts are being made to adopt the best strategies in the drinking water...Read more
