Photocatalytic Treatment of Hospital Secondary Wastewater in a Pilot Scale for the Removal of Residual Pharmaceuticals
(Corresponding) Konstantinou I., Boti V., Hela D., Albanis T.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The present study deals with the application of heterogeneous photocatalysis in pilot compound parabolic solar (CPC) reactor for the advanced treatment of hospital secondary wastewater effluent treatment using TiO2 and g-C3N4 catalysts. Degradation followed first order kinetics with the...Read more
Enhanced hydrogen production rates in Microbial Electrolysis Cell using Biocatalyst
(Corresponding) Gautam R., Ghosh U.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The energy consumption around the world has increased significantly and depleting reserves posing a major concern. The green energy sources are the need of the hour to counter the fuel scarcity and souring prices. Hydrogen production through a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is an effective and...Read more
Adsorption-desorption of methylene blue dye onto marine sediments: Kinetics and equilibrium studies
(Corresponding) Vagi M., Leventelli M., Petsas A.
Topic:
Environmental pollution
The present study concerns the investigation of the sorption and desorption phenomena of methylene blue (MB), which is an organic molecule used as a synthetic dye in several industries. For that purpose, the batch equilibrium technique was applied by using three marine sediments that were...Read more
Evaluation of industrial wastes as active materials in permeable reactive barrier for acid mine drainage remediation
Sanchez D., Lopez-Bellido J., Acosta I., Rodriguez L., Villaseñor J., (Corresponding) Fernandez-Morales J.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The aim of this work was to evaluate the use of agricultural and industrial waste materials as reactive agents into Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRB) for Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) remediation. Laboratory-scale columns containing Volcanic Scoria (VS) as porous fill material and approximately 18% w/w...Read more
Anthropogenic metal pollution in Saronikos gulf: historical evolution and risk assessment based on selected sediment cores
Panagopoulou G., (Corresponding) Paraskevopoulou V., Yfanti A., Anagnostou E., Vrettou E., Filippi G., Botsou F., Xarlis P., Andreopoulos N., Moratis D., Stergiou N., Chatziathanasiou C., Damianou R., Dalianis A., Tsiparis I., Dassenakis M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Anthropogenic metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn) are chemical elements known for toxic effects when present in elevated concentrations. There are various sources of these metals to marine sediments. The presence and levels of anthropogenic metals in sediments may cause adverse implications to ecosystem...Read more
Exploring the consumers’ behaviour towards storing, repairing and second-hand purchasing of mobile phones in Greece.
(Corresponding) Boikou K., Chroni C., Sigala E., Abeliotis K., Lasaridi K.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
The proliferation of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) poses a significant environmental challenge, driven by technological advancements and reduced production costs. In particular, mobile phones have gained tremendous popularity worldwide, but their short lifespan has significantly...Read more

Cultivation of fiber crops for sustainable soil remediation and biobased raw material production for industrial uses
(Corresponding) Kotoula D., Karaviti T., Gorgiou P., Alexopoulou E., Papazoglou E.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The contamination of agricultural soils with toxic metals is an escalating issue, posing hazards to both wildlife and human populations across vast land areas. The objective of the FORTE project is to address this issue by cultivating industrial hemp, flax and kenaf on contaminated mining and...Read more
Classification, characterisation, standardisation and weighting in life cycle analysis (LCA): a case study of teaching innovation for higher education
(Corresponding) San Miguel G.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Training deficiencies in sustainability analysis can pose a barrier to advancing towards sustainable development. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a basic tool in the analysis of the environmental performance of products. This paper describes exercise for teaching innovation for higher education in...Read more

Agro-Industry Waste Fed Microbial Electrolysis Cell for Biohydrogen Production
(Corresponding) Ghosh U., Gautam R.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
The microbial electrolysis cell is gaining advantage over the other biological hydrogen production techniques as it requires less energy for hydrogen generation as compared to the water electrolysis process. The present study aims to assess the aptness of Agro-Industry Waste (AIW) fed membrane-...Read more
