Potential of Using real-time OiW monitoring for control of produced water treatment in offshore oil & gas production
(Corresponding) Zhenyu Y.
Topic:
Water treatment
The produced water has been the largest produced fluid stream at most of the current offshore oil & gas production in North-sea. It is not uncommon that the water cut can reach 90% in many matured production fields. No matter the produced water will be eventually discharged to the ocean, or...Read more

Conventional and organic rice production in Northern Italy: What is the (environmentally) best?
(Corresponding) Jacopo B., Luigi O., Marco P., Alessia C.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Italy is the most important European rice producer with about 230000 ha. Over the years the area dedicated to organic rice production is rapidaly growing.
In this study, using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, the environmental performances of rice production in Italy considering both...Read more

Methodology development for implementing Life Cycle Analysis of energy production in the Czech Republic
(Corresponding) Zakuciova K., Štefanica J., Šerešová M., Kočí V., Zdeněk V., Vitvarová M., Jan O.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Energy mix of the Czech Republic includes various types of fossil energy sources, which currently do not have comprehensive methodology for assessing their environmental impacts. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is important tool for assessing such impacts through the whole life cycle of the sources...Read more

Life Cycle Assessment of Electricity production in the Czech Republic – case-study of lignite combustion and hydropower
(Corresponding) Štefanica J., Zakuciová K., Kočí V., Šerešová M., Vlček Z., Vitvarová M., Opatřil J.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Environmental impacts of various types of energy production are compared in the scope of an ongoing national research project “Life Cycle Assessment of Energy Production”. The project is using the LCA method to compare the potential environmental impacts of selected energy sources throughout their...Read more
The influence of methane emission and hard coal production on air quality and greenhouse effect in 1994-2017 in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (Poland)
(Corresponding) Dreger M.
Topic:
Air pollution
The Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) is the largest coal basin in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. It is the most industrialized region in Poland. The main natural resource and energy raw material is hard coal which was produced by 65 mines in the early nineties. The USCB geology is very...Read more

Sustainable landscapes: restoration and land use planning in an adaptive approach to climate change and desertification. Case study of Inter-Andean Valley of Cauca River in Colombia
(Corresponding) Alvarado-Solano D., Otero J., Šarapatka B.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The inter-Andean valley of Cauca River (IVCR) is one of the most industrialized regions in Colombia leading its seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) to a fragmented and degraded state. Changes in land cover may alter the climatic and hydrological patterns. In the period 1984 – 2014, 26% of natural...Read more
The Effect of Different Parameters on Electrochemical Removal of Ampicillin Using New Generation Sn/Sb/Ni-Ti Anodes
(Corresponding) Kurt A., (Corresponding) Yonar T., Shakir F., Helvacıoğlu H., Neşelen E.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the feasibility of new generation and stable Sn/Sb/Ni-Ti anodes for treatment of wastewater containing Ampicillin (AMP) antibiotic by electrochemical oxidation processes. Ampicillin concentration was 0.05 g L-1 in the aqueous solution. Residual ampicillin...Read more

Hydrothermal pretreatment optimization for enhanced anaerobic digestion of willow sawdust
ALEXANDROPOULOU M., PAPADOPOULOU K., (Corresponding) ANTONOPOULOU G., LYBERATOS G.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Lignocellulosic biomass including agricultural and forestry residues such as willow sawdust could be used as feedstock for anaerobic digestion (AD). Hydrolysis has been shown to be the rate-limiting step in the case of AD of such substrates. Although being abundant, since the annual world...Read more
The mitigation of environmental impacts of high polluted effluents from tuna canning industry through eco-efficiency strategies
(Corresponding) Gutierrez M., Etxebarria S., Revilla M., Ramos S., Ciriza A., Sancho L., Zufia J.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Food industry use high volume of water and energy to carry out their processes. Specifically, the fish canning industry generates effluents with high organic and saline loads, which complicates their suitable treatment before discharging to water bodies. The LIFE VERTALIM project has demonstrated...Read more
