Sustainable water management in industry using Industrial Water Footprint
(Corresponding) Nydrioti I., Grigoropoulou H.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Large quantities of water are consumed directly or indirectly by production and distribution plants. Industries are rapidly required to comply with the principles of sustainable development through United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), focusing on sustainable water management,...Read more

Stakeholder Mapping & Analysis for Climate Change Adaptation in Greece
(Corresponding) Nydrioti I., Katsiardi P., Chioti D., Sebos I., Assimacopoulos D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Stakeholder mapping and analysis is essential in Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) projects to assess and identify the needs of stakeholders (SHs). For the mapping of actors involved in adaptation planning and implementation in Greece, a multi-criteria analysis is followed.
The SHs involved in CCA...Read more
TiO2/Fe2O3 based Composites for Solar-driven Photocatalytic Degradation of Amoxicillin
(Corresponding) dela Rosa F., Papac J., Kovačić M., (Corresponding) Kušić H., Božic A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The occurrence of trace amounts of antibiotics in various bodies of water was directly linked to the development of antibiotic resistant pathogens. Recently, Amoxicillin (AMX) was added on the second EU “watch list” based on the proposed European Decision 2018/840/EU. Its presence in drinking water...Read more

Hydro-stratigraphy, Aquifer Characterization and Physiochemical Analysis of District Dera Ghazi Khan Punjab, Pakistan.
(Corresponding) Ullah H., Khalid P., Shah G., Mashwani S., Shafiq W., Din Z.
Topic:
Water treatment
The study area is located in the arid section of Punjab province, Pakistan. The accessibility of freshwater is the main problem in this zone. The area is approximately flat and there are alluvial deposits up to 800 m. Groundwater is not fit for health because of its salinity. Hence, it is essential...Read more

Synthesis and characterization of nanomagnetite for environmental applications
(Corresponding) Mystrioti C., Papassiopi N., Xenidis A.
Topic:
Environmental applications of nanomaterials
Μagnetite (Fe3O4) in nanoscale has been very attractive due to its unique properties which make it ideal for a wide range of applications. Nanomagnetite can be applied as drug delivery medium, as catalyst and as efficient adsorbent and reducing agent for water treatment. In this study, magnetite...Read more

A stochastic approach to resilience assessment of urban water systems from source to tap.
(Corresponding) Nikolopoulos D., Kossieris P., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
The design of urban water systems faces long-term uncertainties in a multitude of parameters, from the hydroclimatic and socioeconomic realms, such as population growth, climate change and shifting demand patterns. To analyze such systems in a holistic way, many models for sub-systems are typically...Read more

An analysis of THETIS-MRV data on CO2 emissions by Ro-Pax ships
(Corresponding) Kotrikla A., Zouloumis I.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Maritime transport is responsible for about 2.5% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These emissions are expected to increase significantly if mitigation measures are not taken. In 2013, European Commission set out a strategy towards reducing GHG emissions from the shipping industry. In this...Read more
Detection of Microplastics using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy - A first approach
(Corresponding) Sommer C., Schneider L., Nguyen J., Prume J., Lautze K., Koch M.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The worldwide inability to enforce effective plastic guidelines results in an increasing accumulation of microplastics in natural habitats. Since this problem is in need of human intervention, we propose Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) as a new tool to identify microplastics. Our...Read more
Silver decorated TiO2/g-C3N4 nanocomposites for photocatalytic elimination of water pollutants under UV and artificial solar light
Ibrahim I., Belessiotis G., Kaltzoglou A., Katsaros F., Salama T., (Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic:
Water treatment
TiO2/g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposites were prepared and used as highly efficient photocatalysts. TiO2 nanoparticles were first prepared using a sol-gel process, and titania herostructures with varying amounts of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) were created using a hydrothermal technique. Following...Read more
Keywords:
TiO2/g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposites; UV and artificial solar light; Organic-inorganic pollutants degradation.
Application of carbon-based catalysts derived from compost on catalytic wet peroxide oxidation of leachate waters from mechanical and biological treatment plant units for municipal solid waste
Batista G., (Corresponding) Roman F., Diaz de Tuesta J., Mambrini R., Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work aims at the valorization of compost from mechanical and biological treatment (MBT) units of municipal solid waste by their transformation into carbon-based catalysts for further application in the treatment of MBT leachate waters (chemical oxygen demand (COD) = 60.0 g L-1, total organic...Read more
