Photocatalytic nanofiltration reactor for agricultural wastewater purification and reuse

Theodorakopulos G., Arfanis M., Agüera A., Cadena Aponte F., Sánchez Pérez J., Markellou E., Romanos G., (Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater reuse
In recent years, the Agrofood industry utilizes pesticides for improving the agricultural production. Nevertheless, the presence of pesticide residues in agricultural wastewater can cause adverse impact on water resources and have harmful effects on human health. Consequently, intensive actions are...Read more

Application of electrochemical peroxidation with nanoscale zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) for selenium removal from oil refinery wastewater

Hansen M., Gutiérrez C., Lazo A., Lazo P., (Corresponding) Hansen H.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
This study uses the electrochemical peroxidation process to remove selenium in combination with nanoscale zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) as the iron source. Also, experiments with just the addition of the nZVI doses without current application were carried out. The nanoparticles were synthesized...Read more

Evaluation of solid sorbents for acid flue gas emissions treatment

(Corresponding) Ravina M., Cerutti A., Marotta E., Zanetti G., Panepinto D., Ruffino B., Zanetti M.
Topic: 
Air pollution
Removal of acid gases from exhaust emissions of industrial applications (SOx, HCl, HF) still represents a challenge for many sectors, in particular for waste to energy facilities. In dry absorption processes, the solid reagent (typically Ca(OH)2 or NaHCO3) is injected countercurrent to the gas in a...Read more

The Development and Implementation of an Environmental Coastal Observatory focused on semi-enclosed Gulfs

(Corresponding) Zervakis V., (Corresponding) Tragou E., Krasakopoulou E., Kolovoyiannis V., Mamoutos I., Androulidakis I., Mazioti A., Potiris E., Kougioumtzoglou R., (Corresponding) Mosiou K., Kalatzi M., Chaniotaki M., Chatzilaou C., Vagi M., Petalas S.
Topic: 
Environmental management and policies
The recent post-Glacial Mediterranean sea-level rise converted mountain valleys to islandic embayments. These bays exhibit distinct hydrographic and biogeochemical characteristics, seasonally alternating thermohaline functioning and their coastal ecosystems support thriving coastal activities. The...Read more

Improving the homogeneity of a sewage sludge-based phosphorus fertilizer by Monte Carlo simulation of the production chain

Vogt S., (Corresponding) Brueck F., Schnabel K., Weigand H.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
Sewage sludge mono-incineration with subsequent phosphorus (P) recovery from the ash is becoming increasingly important in many European countries. Plant operators are facing the challenge to produce a homogeneous P output which needs to conform to fertilizer standards (including trace elements...Read more
