Composting Animal Mortalities: An effective method for Agro-Silvo-Pastoral Systems utilizing natural zeolite
(Corresponding) KAVASILIS S., DOULA M., ZORPAS A. A., CAMBANIS L.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Animal mortalities management is a challenging and ecologically concerning issue in Agro-Silvo-Pastoral systems. Conventional methods used are not environmentally friendly, are likely to disperse disease to human and animals and do not promote the circularity of livestock units. The absence of...Read more

Plastic waste utilization: Challenges and opportunities for waste-to-energy in Baguio City, Philippines
(Corresponding) Duran J., Victoriano J., Lunag Jr. M., Diccion Jr. A., Putiyon P., Solijon J.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
Amounts of residual wastes, such as plastics, paper, and textiles, in urban areas have drastically increased over the years, which hence requires sustainable waste management schemes. Refuse derived fuel (RDF) provides a solution in addressing minimizing waste disposal in landfills and providing...Read more
Low molecular weight polymers in aquatic environments as pollutants of emerging concerns: recovery, quantification and microstructure
(Corresponding) Giannattasio A., Iuliano ., Oliva G., Giaquinto D., Capacchione C., Korshin G., Barcelo D., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V., Buonerba A., Grassi A.
Topic:
Citizen Science in Environmental Monitoring
Microplastics and, more in general, synthetic polymer debrides of anthropic origin are accumulating in the environment, in particular in marine water and sediments, with risks associated for aquatic organisms and humans not well wholly understood. In this contribution it is reported a new method...Read more
Thermal Energy Storage Properties of Gelatin-Gum Arabic Microcapsules Containing Lauric Acid
(Corresponding) Konuklu Y.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
In this study, gelatin-gum arabic microcapsules containing lauric acid were prepared for thermal energy storage applications. Lauric acid and gelatin-gum arabic were used as the core material and shell material, respectively. The synthesized microcapsules were analyzed using differential scanning...Read more

Technologies for the Removal of Microplastics from Wastewater: A Short Review
(Corresponding) Corpuz M., Buonerba A., Napodano P., Hasan S., Choo K., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
One of the major routes of microplastics (MPs) to the environment is through the wastewater treatment plants’ (WWTPs) discharge to water bodies. Due to their dimensions (< 5mm), MPs tend to be ingested by aquatic species, and eventually, may cause adverse impacts on the environment and to human...Read more
