Life-Cycle-Oriented Framework for Seaport Infrastructure Maintenance and Climate Change Adaptation
(Corresponding) Tsaimou C., Chalastani V., Tsoukala V.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Life-cycle considerations are a prerequisite for rational seaport engineering design and planning since they actually retain seaports’ resilience and operational effectiveness. However, the current climate crisis poses threats to the resilience of existing seaport infrastructure, leading to...Read more

Selective denitrification of lipophilic pollutants from oily wastewater by peroxidation using Janus-structured amphiphilic carbon nanotubes as catalysts
Sanches F., Roman F., Silva A., Diaz de Tuesta J., Marin P., Machado B., Serp P., Silva A., (Corresponding) Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were tested as catalysts in the selective denitrification of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) from oily wastewater by catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO). The CNTs were prepared by chemical vapor deposition, feeding sequentially ethylene (E) and/or acetonitrile (A) during different...Read more
Magnetic CoFe2O4@carbon yolk-shell nanoparticles as catalysts for the catalytic wet peroxide of paracetamol
Silva A., Costa Guari N., Diaz de Tuesta J., Eno Pottker W., Yassue Cordeiro P., (Corresponding) Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work focuses the use of carbon-coated magnetic cobalt ferrite nanoparticles as catalysts for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of the emerging pollutant paracetamol. A magnetic core composed of CoFe2O4 is developed by a sol-gel method. The core is subsequently coated with a formaldehyde-...Read more
Effective separation of waste printed circuit boards using microwave-assisted organic swelling.
Monteiro B., Martelo L., Sousa P., Bastos M., (Corresponding) Soares H.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Nowadays, our lifestyle demands more electronics products, and this rapid development generated an increase in the amount of electronic waste (e-waste). Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) are components in all electronic devices and responsible for a high percentage of the total weight of the...Read more
Effect of the dependence structure and time irreversibility of streamflow in flood inundation mapping with focus on the long-term persistence behaviour
(Corresponding) Dimitriadis P., Iliopoulou T., Papanicolaou P., Koutsoyiannis D.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
The marginal structure of streamflow, with focus on the right tail behaviour, is considered as the main factor in flood risk assessment, while little is known on the effect of the temporal dependence structure and irreversibility of streamflow. Interestingly, the second-order dependence behaviour...Read more
The potential of UAV multispectral imagery to estimate chlorophyll content of vine leaves
(Corresponding) Tepanosyan G., Muradyan V., Hovsepyan A., Ayvazyan G., Avetisyan R., Asmaryan S.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
As is known, chlorophyll is an important biophysical parameter used to monitor the overall physiological status of plants. The aim of this research was to study the potential of UAV multispectral images for estimating the contents of leaf chlorophyll in vineyards. For this purpose, a UAV flight was...Read more
Degradation of textile dyes in water by gas-liquid NSP-DBD plasma
MEROPOULIS S., (Corresponding) AGGELOPOULOS C.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Textile dyes represent some of the most complicated environmental pollutants due to their variety and complex structure. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is regarded as a highly competitive advanced oxidation process towards the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater. In this study, a gas-...Read more
Study of the potential of Rhodococcus strains for degradation of the pesticide Glyphosate (Roundup)
Gerginova M., Peneva N., (Corresponding) Alexieva Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The experiments were aimed at studying the tolerance of the studied strains of Rhodococcus sp. M1 and Rhodococcus sp. D1 to the presence of Glyphosate (N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine) in the culture medium. A rich organic medium (YEPD), a mineral medium (VD) with 1% glucose and a mineral medium...Read more
Triclosan-induced changes in earthworm Eisenia fetida life cycle under elevated temperature
(Corresponding) Miškelytė D., Žaltauskaitė J.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Antimicrobials are important for preserving the quality of life and public health. Triclosan (2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether, TCS) is one of the most used antimicrobials in both pharmaceuticals and personal care products and it is a frequently detected emerging organic...Read more

Reducing sewage sludge ash variability in the context of P-recovery by optimizing the storage management using Monte-Carlo simulations
Vogt S., Brück F., Schnabel K., (Corresponding) Weigand H.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Phosphorus (P) is a critical raw material and the EU largely depends on P-imports to cover its demand. This is increasing efforts to recover P from secondary P-sources such as municipal sewage sludge ashes (SSA) from mono-incineration. Usage of SSA for mineral fertilizer production requires...Read more
