IN-SITU REMOVAL OF ANTIBIOTICS IN SOIL BY COLD PLASMA

(Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C., Hatzisymeon M., Tataraki D., Rassias G.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Antibiotics are extensively used in clinical settings to treat or prevent human diseases, in veterinary science for farm and domestic animal health and in agriculture for crop protection. Due to their incomplete biological degradation, human and animal antibiotics are released through discharges...Read more

Origin of Cr in alluvial sediments and ultramafic rocks in Sultanate of Oman. Magnetic fractionation and sunlight effect.

(Corresponding) Moraetis D., Al-Suhai S., Pracejus B., Pyrgaki K., Argyraki A., Dermatas D.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The present study attempts to identify the sources of Cr(VI) in a coastal alluvial fan soil and soil from a chromite mine. In addition investigates the effect of photochemically oxidized organic matter in the Cr(VI) mobilization in soil. The alluvial bulk soil samples contain several evidence of...Read more

Fire-induced oxidation of Cr(III) in serpentine soils

(Corresponding) Botsou F., Vitzilaiou S., Guerra G., Valla P., Kelepertzis E., Dassenakis M., Argyraki A.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Ophiolite rocks and their weathering products are the major hosts of Cr(III)-bearing phases in the Earth’s crust. Trivalent Cr is rather benign, but risks arise because of its potential for oxidation to the toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent form. Manganese oxides are the most effective natural...Read more

Plastic to microplastic in the United Arab Emirates – plastic bottle caps in a hot, arid environment

Selem B., Alkarbi A., Alhosani A., Ahmad F., Elemam M., Iftikhar S., Mourad A., (Corresponding) Thiemann T.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The degradation of plastic bottle tops as a common contributor to plastic waste in the environment was assessed under the hot, arid conditions of the hinterland of the United Arab Emirates. 500 bottles tops were collected from 5 different locations in the Al Ain area and their surface oxidation...Read more

Evaluation of phytotoxicity of landfill leachates after treatment with UV radiation based processes

Grilla E., Isari E., (Corresponding) Kokkinos P., Parthenidis P., Evgenidou E., Lambropoulou D., Kalavrouziotis I.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of reuse landfill leachates after advanced treatment in agriculture. UV/Fenton and Fenton processes were applied in the treatment of a stabilized (L2) and a medium (L1) landfill leachate. In addition to above data, phytotoxicity tests were...Read more
