Removal of gaseous ammonia released from odorous composting leachate employing carbonaceous adsorbents prepared from agro-industrial wastes

PERDIGÃO-LIMA T., Feliciano M., Pereira Wilken A., Gomes H., Shinibekova A., Kalmakhanova M., Massalimova B., (Corresponding) Diaz de Tuesta J.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Biological and composting processes used in the treatment of municipal solid waste typically are sources of odour pollution (gaseous pollutants include SO2, NH3, H2S and other toxic air pollutants). In this work, the removal of NH3 present in odorous composting leachate was assessed for the first...Read more

Anaerobic biodesulfurization in different inoculums

Stylianou M., Samanides C., Vyrides I., (Corresponding) Agapiou A.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Sulfur compounds in liquid fuel are undesirable and the level of these compounds in diesel fuel is strictly regulated in the last 15 years by the European Union. These stringent regulations are imposing an urgent requirement for fuel terminals to produce fuels having ultra-low sulfur content. A...Read more

Ground based integrated path differential absorption sensor for remote sensing of CO2, CH4 and H2O atmospheric greenhouse gases

(Corresponding) Panagiotis S., Psyllakis G., Samartzis P., Velegrakis M.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
An autonomous, ground-based, integrated path, differential absorption light detection (IPDA) system is presented, capable of measuring multiple gases concentration in the atmosphere. The device was developed to monitor small scale locations with high greenhouse gases emissions and is equipped with...Read more

INTEGRATED MONITORING SYSTEM BASED ON CITIZEN SCIENCE APPROACH FOR THE PROACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL ODOURS EMISSIONS

(Corresponding) Oliva G., Zarra T., Senatore V., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odours emitted from industrial and environmental protection plants have been included among atmospheric pollutants as they are cause of annoyance for the exposed residents. The control of the odour emissions is therefore a key aspect to pursue. The research presents and discusses the development of...Read more

Low temperature conversion of methanol to higher hydrocarbons and hydrogen using a non-thermal plasma

(Corresponding) Dahiru U., Zhang K., Harvey A.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
In recent years, the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from chemical manufacturing plants, agricultural practises, and indoor sources has attracted public concern, as these emissions have a negative effect on both human health and the environment. VOCs are precursor for the formation of...Read more

Sustainable treatment of air pollutants by moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) coupled with algae photobioreactor (APBR)

Pahunang R., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Oliva G., Senatore V., Belgiorno V., Ballesteros F., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
The presence of high concentrations of VOCs in the atmosphere can lead to negative consequences for humans and the environment. The treatment of these compounds is thus necessary before their release into the atmosphere. In the study, an advanced moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) coupled with an...Read more
