Response of the lichen Evernia prunastri to exposure of antibiotic
(Corresponding) Sujetovienė G., Miškelytė D., Dikšaitytė A., Januškaitienė I., Kacienė G., Žaltauskaitė J.
Topic:
Biomonitoring
Tetracycline antibiotics are one of the main groups of antibiotics widely used in medicine and a major environmental concern. However, the effects on non-target organisms are not well studied. Thalli of lichens artificially were exposed to high levels tetracycline to determine the impact on...Read more
Treatment of three agro-industrial wastewaters by dried bio-absorbent orange peels and brewery spent grains
Kiouranakis G., Ioannou Z., Gkatzionis K., Papanikolaou S., (Corresponding) Sarris D.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
This study aims to determine the efficiency of reducing the phenol content (hence BOD/COD) of three agro-industrial wastes: olive mill effluent- olive mill wastewaters- OMW, brewery sludge – BS, and white wine lees – WWL by orange peel (OP) and dried brewer' spent grains (BSG). Orange peels...Read more
Screening of oleaginous yeast Trichosporon coremiforme EXF-8679 in commercial sugars and treatment of olive mill wastewaters
Kiouranakis G., Margioula D., Gkatzionis K., Ioannou Z., Papanikolaou S., (Corresponding) Cinerman N., (Corresponding) Sarris D.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Trichosporon is a genus of yeasts that belongs in the family of Trichosporonaceae., that typically can be found in soil, but several species are in the natural part of the skin microbiota of humans and other animals. Trichosporon coremiforme is considered as an oleaginous yeast

Topic:
Net Zero emission transition
Biocementation (i.e., the production of biomimetic cement through the metabolic activity of microorganisms) has attracted the vivid interest of researchers worldwide in the last decade. To date most research works and commercial products proposed biocementation using the urea hydrolysis metabolic...Read more
A truly circular process for recycling all main raw materials of waste of LCDs screens of smartphones
Martelo L., Silva M., Bacelo H., Bastos M., (Corresponding) Soares H.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
A liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen is composed by two transparent glasses coated with indium-tin oxide (ITO) on it and crystal liquids (LCs) sandwiched between them. The current implemented recycling process usually adopts mechanical crushing or pyrolysis as the primary LCDs screens treatment...Read more

Assessing wind farms projects with the use of multicriteria methods and stakeholders analysis
Mpakali E., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The use of wind potential and the protection of biodiversity are two conflicting aspects that arise in the development of wind energy projects, generating conflicts between different stakeholders. The aim of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing the suitability of existing wind farms...Read more
A presumptive and interactive map of PFAS contamination in Greece: a tool for the identification of possible exposure sources
(Corresponding) Soubasakou G., Evrenoglou L., Cavoura O.
Topic:
Pollution control and contaminated sites
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging global contaminants that can have adverse environmental and human health effects. In recent years regulatory authorities have focused on setting stricter environmental limits and implementing precautionary principles. The extent and severity...Read more

Synthesis of iron and nitrogen co-doped biochar for the activation of peroxymonosulfate to degrade sulfamethoxazole
Xue Y., Kamali M., (Corresponding) Dewil R.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In this study, iron and nitrogen co-doped biochar (Fe-N-BC) was synthesized by a facile pyrolysis process of mixed walnut shell, melamine, and iron(III) chloride, and then the biochar (BC), nitrogen-doped biochar (N-BC), and iron-doped biochar (Fe-BC) also were prepared as a control. The Fe-N-BC...Read more
Keywords:
Iron and nitrogen co-doped biochar; peroxymonosulfate; mechanisms; toxicity.
Optimization of wastewater treatment by integration of artificial intelligence techniques: recent progress and future perspectives
(Corresponding) Cairone S., Hasan S., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving useful in optimizing the process efficiency in many sectors, including wastewater treatment. The complexity of wastewater characteristics and treatment technologies leads to uncertainties and variability in the efficiency of the processes in wastewater...Read more
LCA of Applying a Smart Farming System – Implementing a Territorial Approach for Recommending Good Agricultural Practices
(Corresponding) Karagkounis A., Fragkou E., Tsegas G., Barmpas F., Moussiopoulos N.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This study is part of the LIFE GAIA Sense project, aiming to evaluate the environmental efficiency of Smart Farming (SF) through LCA and to produce recommendations for good agricultural practices. Thus, the environmental performance of SF treatment, specifically regarding fertilizers/pesticides...Read more
