Phosphorus and nitrogen recovery from wastewater in the form of struvite: Alternative magnesium sources
(Corresponding) Koutsoukos P., Primikyris G., Siachos K.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Recovery of phosphorus and nitrogen from municipal and other types of wastewater may be achieved through the direct crystallization of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate, Mg·NH4·PO4·6H2O). Wastewater deficiency in magnesium makes it necessary for the external addition of magnesium...Read more
One step industrial enzymatic technology of starch hydrolysis to glucose
(Corresponding) Kvesitadze G., Khvedelidze R., (Corresponding) Urushadze T., Kutateladze L., Zakariashvili N., Jobava M., Sadunishvili T.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Starch degrading enzymes like amylase have received great attention because of their technological significance and economic benefits. As a result of screening of Durmishidze Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology collection of mycelial fungi, accounting 2500 individual strains, 39 strains...Read more
Τhe aim of this study was to check the water quality of Aposelemis Dam reservoir. The water quality was studied in nine (09) different water depths: 0 m, 02 m, 03 m, 05 m, 07 m, 09 m, 10 m, 13 m and 15 m. A sudden change in the temperature of the water was observed at the water depth of 7 m (...Read more

(Corresponding) GYPARAKIS S., DIAMADOPOULOS E.
Topic:
Water treatment
Rising population, increased industrial and agricultural water usage as well as climate changes have brought great challenges to water supply of adequate quality and quantity. Thus, the water treatment industry has nowadays a greater emphasis on the optimization of water treatment plants to improve...Read more
The Characteristics of soil contamination in industrial complex in Korea
(Corresponding) HYO JEONG L., GWAN JU J., JEONG HO C., SANG YEOP L., WON WOOK K.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
It is expected that the possibility of soil contamination will be high as industrial complex will be treated with many harmful chemicals during industrial activities. Therefore, the Korea Environment Corporation has been conducting a detailed survey of Korea’s industrial complex since 2004.
There...Read more

Biomass burning tracers in urban and rural particles in Silesia - Poland
(Corresponding) Czaplicka M., Janoszka K.
Topic:
Air pollution
The major tracers are thermal degradation products from the biopolymer cellulose, namely the didehydromonosaccharide derivatives levoglucosan (LG), galactosan (GL) and mannosan (MN) and the resin acid derivative dehydroabietic acid, with minor β-sitosterol. The relative proportions of levoglucosan...Read more
Novel technologies & methods for Lithium batteries expansion of life cycle
VLACHOU K., (Corresponding) KONDILI E., KALDELLIS J.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The technology of Lithium batteries is nowadays greatly developing, as they are an efficient mean of energy storage. Their main use is in electric and electronic devices. Moreover after 2010, these batteries are also used in the development of electric vehicles, an industrial sector which has a...Read more

An Ignition Probability Index for the early detection of wildfires in the Eastern Mediterranean region
(Corresponding) Xofis P., Tsiourlis G., Konstantinidis P.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Wildfires continue to form a major disturbance factor in Mediterranean ecosystems, often associated with significant loss of properties and human lives. Fast detection and suppression within the first minutes after ignition constitute one of the pillars for successful wildfire management and...Read more
Comparative Study of Flow through Vegetation Stems With and Without Foliage
(Corresponding) Christodoulou G., Mavrommatis A.
Topic:
River systems in diverse climates and environments
The presence of vegetation in rivers, streams and riparian zones affects significantly the flow field and consequently the resistance, pollutant dispersion, sediment transport and ecological habitat. In this paper, a comparative study is undertaken to investigate the effect of an array of simple...Read more
