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

Triclosan occurrence in European Sewage Treatment Plants and risk assessment for the European rivers

Thomaidi V., Matsoukas C., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The purpose of this study was to estimate the environmental risk associated with the existence of triclosan (TCS) released from municipal wastewater in the European rivers. A literature review was held to record the concentration levels of TCS in effluents of European Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs...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

Investigation of food additives readily biodegradability in respirometric tests

Vazaiou N., (Corresponding) Gatidou G., Arvaniti O., Stasinakis A.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The biodegradability of fourteen (14) food additives, belonging to different groups such as artificial sweeteners, preservatives and coloring agents, was evaluated using the OECD 301F protocol (manometric respirometry test). According to the results, seven out of fourteen compounds, namely...Read more

A nine-year study on the temporal changes of licit and illicit drug use patterns as revealed from the chemical analysis of influent wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant of Athens

Galani K., Alygizakis N., Borova V., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Daily flow-proportional composite influent wastewater was collected from the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Athens during a nine-year sampling campaign (2010-2019). Analytes in influent wastewater are markers of the consumption and the exposure of the chemicals in the population. Wastewater...Read more

NORMAN Non-target screening (NTS) prioritisation scheme for ranking thousands of contaminants of emerging concern in effluent wastewater collected from Europe

(Corresponding) Alygizakis N., Dulio V., Von der Ohe P., Slobodnik J., Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Prioritisation of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) remains a challenging task of primary importance for environmental managers and the scientific community as regards the definition of priority actions for pollution prevention & control and for the allocation of resources to address...Read more
