Effect of chain length on the pyrolysis of perfluorocarboxylic acids
(Corresponding) Dixon L., Stockenhuber S., Weber N., Lucas J., Grimison C., Stockenhuber M., Mackie J., (Corresponding) Kennedy E.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) are increasingly becoming the contamination issue of our time, due to their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and mounting evidence of their toxicity. Herein we examined the pyrolytic decomposition of a series of perfluorocarboxylic acids via the...Read more
Removal of PFAS from wastewater by bio-waste adsorbent: material characterization and adsorption kinetic study
(Corresponding) Bavasso I., Bracciale M., Sbardella F., Di Palma L., Marco S.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are considered emerging contaminants and have been increased their attention due to their distribution in water body. These compounds are acid and characterized by a thermal stability to make them resistant to degradation processes. Activities such as...Read more
Evaluation of innovative water treatments at molecular level based on high resolution mass spectrometry and advanced statistical tools
(Corresponding) Gago-Ferrero P., ALYGIZAKIS N., Velo-Gala I., Sbardella L., Gernjak W., Petrovic M.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
This work aims at integrating the last advances in high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and statistical analysis to develop and optimize a smart methodology (workflow) for the assessment of the performance of innovative water treatments using different technological approaches based on advanced...Read more

Combined use of anaerobic and aerobic moving bed biofilm reactors for micropollutants’ removal from wastewater
Kora E., Theodorelou D., Herpich A., Gatidou G., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
A novel laboratory-scale continuous flow wastewater treatment system, consisting of an anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (AnMBBR) and an aerobic MBBR, was used for investigating the removal of hydroxybenzothiazole (OH-BTH) and selected benzotriazoles from municipal wastewater. The system was...Read more
