Preliminary results of climate effect on phenology of honeydew producing insects of fir trees and the production of fir honey in Evritania - Greece
(Corresponding) Gounari S., Botonakis S., Papadopoulos A., Pantera A., Tassios A., Fotiadis G.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
In a 3-year program (2019-2021) the production of fir honey in the prefecture of Evritania, the most mountainous prefecture of Greece, was studied. The production of fir honey is influenced by the condition of the tree, the phenology of the honeydew producing insect, the beekeeper's management...Read more

Oxic-Settling-Anaerobic under intermittent aeration: effect on system performance, sludge minimization and greenhouse gas emissions
Dı Trapanı D., Cosenza A., (Corresponding) Bosco Mofatto P., Mannina G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out on a pilot scale activated sludge system operated under intermittent aeration and fed with real wastewater at the Water Resource Recovery Facility of Palermo University (Italy). The experimental campaign was divided into two...Read more
Pretreatment of Agro-Industrial Wastes with Basidial Fungi Strains for Effective Delignification of Lignocellulosic Wastes
(Corresponding) Kvesitadze G., Tsiklauri N., Kutateladze L., Urushadze ., Khokhashvili I., Sadunishvili T.
Topic:
Biowaste
Lignocellulosic biomass, including agro-industrial wastes, is an ideal cheap and abundant source of glucose for ethanol production. The complex structure of lignin makes it difficult to hydrolyze the biomass cellulose to sugars and other organic compounds. In recent years, it has become more and...Read more

Sustainable and Cost-effective Approach for Treatment of Plating Industrial Wastewater Effluents
(Corresponding) Boguniewicz-Zablocka J., Naddeo V., (Corresponding) Corpuz M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The wastewater resulting from the plating industry contains high contents of toxic metals, such as chromium, which is a serious threat to the environment due to its cumulative effects and non-degradability. Several methods have been actively investigated to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous...Read more

Assessment of Pesticide Occurrence, Attenuation, and Transport Dynamics in the Pampanga River Basin
(Corresponding) AGUSTIN R., ROLLON A., KWAN C., BALLESTEROS F.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The goal of this study is to detect chlorpyrifos, a pesticide, in the Pampanga River basin and to create a new model, or improve upon an existing one, that can accurately predict the concentration levels of micro pollutants in the river bed. The complete dry and wet seasons are accounted for by...Read more
Short-time numerical simulation of ultrasonically assisted electrochemical removal of strontium from water
(Corresponding) Licht K., Lončar G., Posavčić H., Halkijević I.
Topic:
Water treatment
3D numerical simulations and measurements on an electrochemical reactor were used to analyze the efficiency of strontium removal from water, with and without simultaneous ultrasound treatment. Ultrasound was generated using 4 ultrasonic transducers with an operating frequency of 25 kHz. The reactor...Read more
Settling and filtration experiments for the removal of flocs produced by a hybrid sono-electrochemical process
Posavcic H., Halkijevic I., (Corresponding) Vouk D., Nakic D.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Choosing the right method for floc separation after electrochemical treatment seemed to be a problem in a number of previous research papers. Therefore, ultrasonic and electrochemical (sono-EC) processes in circulating flow mode were combined with settling and filtration to treat the oily...Read more
UTILIZATION OF AGRICULTURAL AND URBAN PLASTIC WASTE REVIEW: INTRODUCTION TO PYROLISIS AND HYDROCARBON REFORMATION
KOUMPAKIS D., (Corresponding) VLACHOKOSTAS C.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
Agricultural and urban waste consist of large quantities of biomass and petroleum originated waste. These two categories are rich in hydrocarbons which can be utilized again after their first life cycle. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process in which solid hydrocarbons decompose in conditions of...Read more

The AquaSPICE Industrial Symbiosis Enabling Platform
Earnshaw S., Dedousis P., Vyrkou A., Pieri T., Arampatzis G., (Corresponding) Angelis-Dimakis A.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The role of the AquaSPICE Symbiosis Enabling platform is to facilitate the development of one-to-one waste reuse value chains, through the collaboration of an industrial waste source and a potential waste user. This can be achieved by adopting a three-step process: (i) map and characterize the...Read more
Circular Cities: Challenges and Opportunities towards their transition to a green, smart and circular economy.
Liogkas V.
Topic:
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and circular economy
Cities cover 3% of the land on Earth, however with more than 70% of the population expected to live in urban areas by 2050 they drive almost three-quarters of GHG emissions. They account for two-thirds of global energy demand, consume 60-80% of natural resources and generate 50% of waste.
Urban...Read more
