Purification of municipal wastewater by electrocoagulation process
(Corresponding) Leovac Maćerak A., Duduković N., Slijepčević N., Volarić A., Tomašević Pilipović D., Bečelić-Tomin M., Kerkez Đ.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
In this work, the performance of electrocoagulation (EC) processes was investigated under currently defined operational conditions for the purification of municipal wastewater. The experimental removal efficiencies for COD, BOD, total P, turbidity and TSS were 55%, 60%, 79%, 89% and 86%,...Read more
PLA based nanocomposites with Cellulosic and Lignocellulosic nanofibers as a biodegradable solution for green food packaging
(Corresponding) Tsaousis P., Andrikopoulos K., Mathioudakis G., Beobide A., Sideri S., Deze E., Voyiatzis G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
The HIPERION project aims at the sustainable production of various types of nanocellulose, such as microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), cellulose nano-fibrils (CNF), nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), for the development of high-performance industrial materials for...Read more
Paradigm Shift Towards Integrated Sustainability and High Performance Machining
Attia M.
Topic:
Sustainable production and management of biomass
The environmental impact of machining is presented in terms of the damage to human health, ecosystem quality, and resources. To reconcile the conflicting requirements of economic growth and environmental protection, a paradigm shift towards integrated sustainability and high performance machining...Read more

Techno-economic, environmental and social assessment of precision agriculture for stone fruit production
Núñez-Cárdenas P., (Corresponding) Guillermo S., de la Rosa J., Diezma B., Valero C., Correa E.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Precision agriculture is a powerful solution to mitigate the environmental impact of agricultural systems, optimize crop inputs and cost reduction. The aim of this work is to analyze the benefits of precision farming practices (irrigation, fertilization and phytosanitary treatment) through a life...Read more

Effect of plant species on the performance of vegetated buffer strips to treat agricultural runoffs
(Corresponding) Markoulatou E., Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Water treatment
Vegetated buffer strips (VBS), have been recognized as the most common management practice for mitigating pollution caused by agricultural runoff. They serve a transitional zone between agricultural fields and receiving waters. In this study, two VBS planted with aromatic plants and one unvegetated...Read more
Rainwater collection and treatment on green roofs using aromatic plants in a Mediterranean region.
(Corresponding) Schiza S., Petsis K., Tsiara Z., Petousi I., Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
For modern cities, green roofs provide important economic, environmental and social possibilities. They are a sustainable ecological technology. The present research study assesses the use of two substrates with different compositions for the growth of two aromatic plants (Lavandula dentata and...Read more
The geopolitical risk index effect on the energy market, emissions and climate change
Polemis D., (Corresponding) Mamalis V.
Topic:
Transportation and the environment
Over time, global crises have affected the energy market much more than major geopolitical events. In recent years, humanity has been faced with the Covid 19 crisis, which has caused great disruption in the energy market and unprecedented phenomena in oil prices.
Also, during the same period, due...Read more
Comparative analysis of two microalgae-bacterial symbiotic association growth in papermill effluent enriched through food waste digestate
Talapatra K., (Corresponding) Ghosh U.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
New treatment methods are needed to better recycle waste towards the circular economy. Microalgae can be used as an asset to treat effluent and simultaneously produce biofuel. This paper aims to evaluate the growth of microalgae-bacterial symbiotic association in papermill effluent enriched through...Read more
