Co-Pyrolysis of Corn Stover with Plastic: Optimization Based on Synergy
(Corresponding) Salvilla J., Rollon A., De Luna M.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The co-pyrolysis of lignocellulosic wastes such as Corn stover with plastic has been found to improve the both the yield and quality of pyrolysis oil and gas products. In this study, the co-pyrolysis of Corn stover (CS) with plastic (LDPE, and PP) were studied through thermogravimetric analysis...Read more
A pilot test in Eastern Bohemia for chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons groundwater remediation
Silvestri D., (Corresponding) WACŁAWEK S., STEJSKAL V., VLKOVA D., KVAPIL P., KOHOUT P., HRABAK P., (Corresponding) ČERNÍK M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The bioremediation of chlorinated solvents is considered as cheap and eco-friendly approach, among the bioremediation techniques the stimulation of organohalide-respiring bacteria by adding substrates is considered as one of the most popular methods. Application of cheese whey was performed in...Read more
Emissions of volatile organic compounds from flex printing facility
(Corresponding) Savic B., Tanovic P., Janjic N.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
The present study was undertaken to investigate, the level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in working zone of flex printing facility in Novi Sad, Serbia. The levels of VOCs were determined at four sampling position: at the machine; at a distance of 3 m from the machine; at the outlet of...Read more

Topic:
Green chemistry
The effect of base leaching on pure silica ITQ-29 zeolite being the counterpart of LTA zeolite, was investigated. The extent of the desilication process over pure silica zeolite was controlled by partial detemplation followed by silicon extraction. The potential of hierarchically porous ITQ-29...Read more
European environmental compulsory framework on shipping and ports
(Corresponding) KOTRIKLA A., Andrea V., Nikitakos N., Stylios C.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
The European Maritime transport policy has embraced important environmental protection schemes that are directly or indirectly connected to shipping and port performance. A comprehensive database on the European Union (EU) environmental policy for the last 30 years has been attempted concerning...Read more
Development and application of methods for the determination of pesticide residues in natural waters and sediments, coupled to GC-MS
(Corresponding) KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The main objectives of this study were to develop rapid and accurate screening multiresidue pesticide methods on the basis of Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) technique for the determination of 10 pesticides in water samples and on the basis of QuEChERS technique regarding sediments samples. The target...Read more
Monitoring and treatment of cyanobacterial contaminated surface waters in France and Cyprus
(Corresponding) Antoniou M., Brient L., Tsiarta N., Keliri E., Christofi M., Sukenik A.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Over the past few decades eutrophication of surface water has increased worldwide because of different anthropological activities including land fertilization and sewage run-offs; in combination with climate change. Excessive amount of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen), is now detected in...Read more
A comparative analysis between EU MRV and IMO DCS – the need to adopt a harmonised regulatory system
(Corresponding) Boviatsis M., Tselentis B.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
This paper analyses and compares the two methods proposed for monitoring, reporting and verifying CO2 emissions from shipping, namely the European Union MRV Regulation (EU 2015/757) and the Global Data Collection System of the IMO for fuel oil consumption of ships adopted as an amendment to MARPOL...Read more
Keywords:
CO2 emissions, EU MRV, IMO DCS, MARPOL Annex VI, fuel consumption
A proactive international regulation system based on technological innovations against emerging environmental threats
(Corresponding) Boviatsis M., Alexopoulos A., Theodosiou M.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
The adoption and enforcement of most conventions and regulations have been triggered by a series of disasters that had devastating effects on the marine environment. To improve the safety levels at sea and at the same time to protect the marine environment, it is imperative that the major shipping...Read more
Prediction of Algal Bloom Occurrence in Laguna Lake, Philippines using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)
(Corresponding) Esguerra G., Ballesteros F.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
Algal blooms pertain to an undesirable formation of unicellular freely-floating algal scum caused by the rapid growth of phytoplankton, which can become a hazard for the water body ecosystem. Laguna Lake serves as both a source of livelihood and water supply for the residents in the region and the...Read more
