Direct upgrading of biogas produced by anaerobic digestion: preliminary results at laboratory scale
Bonaccorsi L., Fazzino F., Fotia A., Malara A., Pedullà A., (Corresponding) Calabrò P.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The present study investigated, at laboratory scale, the possibility of achieving biogas upgrading with a single step of treatment, namely without involving any pre- or post-treatment or multiple stage recirculation. In this respect, three commercial molecular sieves (i.e., Honeywell 13X, 4A, and...Read more

Topic:
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Heavy metal pollution caused by industrial operations is a global environmental issue. Chromium, used in chrome plating, textile dyeing, wood preservation, and metal fnishing, is classifed as a highly toxic agent to humans and other living organisms. To minimize health risks, these contaminant...Read more
Fluctuation of Nighttime Ground Level Ozone Due to Artificial Light
Mohamad Nazir A., Ramli N., (Corresponding) Ismail M., Awang N., Nordin N., Abdul Wahab S.
Topic:
Air pollution
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation creates ground-level ozone (O3) during the day and is subsequently eliminated by nitrogen oxides at night. However, excessive artificial light use, those results in light pollution, may interfere with the chemistry of ground-level O3 at night by supplying enough energy to...Read more

Topic:
Beach erosion of island beaches In Eastern Mediterranean (Greece and Cyprus): assessment, monitoring and Management
Beaches have a high hedonic value and economic potential; they are pillars of tourism which has been increasingly associated with vacationing wholly, or partially, at coastal locations and beach recreational activities according to the 3S (Sun, Sea and Sand) touristic model. The visitor’s...Read more

Coffee ground biosorbent for nitrite and nitrate recovery and soil nutrient
Ying T., (Corresponding) Sethupathi S., Hon L.
Topic:
Recycling of materials to new products
Nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) are two forms of nitrogen that contribute to the occurrence of eutrophication if found in excess concentrations. Conversely, nitrogen is one of the major macronutrients required for healthy plant growth. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the recovery of NO3-...Read more
The education approach to sustainable water management
(Corresponding) Vgenopoulou E., Evrenoglou L., Damikouka I.
Topic:
Sustainability & the SDGs
Water has a leading role in sustainable development. Water security is a key challenge worldwide. In recent years, new challenges from intensive urbanization and climate change have come to the fore. These challenges are intertwined with environmental, economic and social issues, which threaten the...Read more

Low-cost and rapid paper-based microfluidic device for wastewater surveillance at low-resource settings
Pan Y., Hui Q., (Corresponding) Yang Z.
Topic:
Environmental Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes respiratory illness and gastrointestinal infections, with viral material being excreted in feces (and surviving within sewage for several days). Here, we propose a low-cost and user-friendly paper-based microfluidic device...Read more

Modelling metal and energy recovery from Acid Mine Drainage by means of Bioelectrochemical Technology
Delgado Y., Lopez E., Martin M., Llanos J., (Corresponding) Fernandez-Morales F.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
This work presents a Monod-based mathematical model able to predict the performance of a bioelectrochemical system (BES) treating Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). The BES was operated as a microbial fuel cell (MFC), in order to recover not only the metals but also all the chemical energy contained. The...Read more
Solar attenuation due to particulate matter in arid environments
(Corresponding) Alajlan M., Alsalem K.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
The depletion of solar irradiation has several causes such as clouds and suspended particulate matters in the atmosphere. Particulate matters play an important role in decreasing solar irradiation by blocking partly the solar energy from reaching the ground. This lost irradiation must be taken into...Read more
