Aloe Vera waste for Methylene Blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RB) and Methyl Orange (MO) adsorption.

(Corresponding) Mazzeo L., Bavasso I., Di Palma L.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller) waste obtained from a local cosmetic production factory was used as bio-adsorbent for the removal of three different dyes: Methylene Blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RB) and Methyl Orange (MO). The material was preliminary washed with water at room temperature. Batch...Read more

Synthesis of self-assembled graphene oxide (GO)/manganese oxide (MnO2) sulfonated-polyethersulfone (SPES) membranes for heavy metal removal from wastewater

Ibrahim Y., Wadi V., Ouda M., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

As the 21st century continues, water scarcity remains a significant burden to overcome in many regions. The treatment of industrial wastewater has great potential in providing adequate quantities of freshwater. To ensure safe usage of this water, heavy metal ions must be removed to avoid their...Read more

Use of a two-stage MBBR system for medium-strength dairy wastewater treatment

Katsara A., Iliopoulou A., Zkeri E., Aloupi M., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

A two-stage Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) system consisting of a methanogenic and an aerobic reactor in series was used for medium strength dairy wastewater treatment. An energy analysis was conducted for the methanogenic MBBR to investigate its autonomy and its potential to act as a...Read more

Applying solar distillation for the sustainable management of olive mill wastewater

Mastoras P., Gatidou G., Vakalis S., Fountoulakis M., Haralampopoulos D., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Olive mill wastewater (OMWW) is a major by-product of olive oil production industry. Its chemical characteristics (high concentrations of COD and TSS, low pH value, existence of total phenols at the range of some ppm) does not allow its efficient treatment using conventional physiochemical or...Read more

Catalytic reduction of Cr(VI) using recovered Silicon from end-of-life photovoltaic panels as a catalyst

Pavlopoulos C., Kyriakopoulou V., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

As installed photovoltaic panels (PVP) approach their end of life, the need for a sustainable recovery plan becomes imperative. This work aims to reuse Silicon from End-of-Life PVP as a potential catalyst/photocatalyst for wastewater treatment. PVPs were pretreated thermally (550°C for 30 min). The...Read more

Investigating the effect of different NaCl concentrations as draw solution used to concentrate synthetic municipal wastewater in a Forward Osmosis system

(Corresponding) Kappa S., Themeli E., Noutsopoulos C., Malamis S.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

The main bottleneck towards resource and energy valorization of municipal wastewater is the low strength of sewage; characterized by low organic matter and nutrient concentrations. In this study, a bench scale Forward Osmosis (FO) system with a cellulose triacetate membrane (CTA) was used as a pre-...Read more
