TELECOMMUNICATION SIGNALS CAN CAUSE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS: OUR 20 YEARS' STUDIES IN LIVING SYSTEMS
(Corresponding) MARGARITIS L.
Topic:
The non ionizing radiation from wireless technology: a 21 century revolution or a global pollution and health hazard
The big bang of telecommunication initiated a few decades ago has caused gradually an enormous increase of the electromagnetic pollution in the environment, the work place and home as well as the personal surrounding of every user. The research of our Electromagnetic Biology Laboratory is focused...Read more
Influence of microbial fuel cell integration on organic matter and nutrient removal in a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Gonzalez T., Miranda J., Vidal G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The combination of constructed wetlands (CWs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has emerged in recent years with the purpose of enhancing wastewater treatment efficiency of CWs while simultaneously generating electricity. Taking the above into account, the aim of this study is to evaluate the...Read more

OMCEC: A Novel Method for Simultaneous Detection of Composition, Geometry and Motion of Suspended Particles
(Corresponding) Nguyen T., Tang F., Maggi F.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Here, we introduce OMCEC, a laboratory-based system that simultaneously measures the material composition, geometric properties, and motion of individual suspended aggregates in a non-invasive and non-destructive way. OMCEC consists of a full-color high-resolution optical system and real-time...Read more
Condensate originating from household food waste as a substrate for Microbial Fuel Cells
Kamperidis T., Pandis P., Vlachaki E., (Corresponding) Tremouli A., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioreactor that converts the chemical energy of the bonds of organic compounds to electrical energy, through the catalytic reactions of microorganisms. Under anaerobic conditions various substrates have been examined using MFC technology. This study examines the...Read more

Hydrogen production in a microbial electrolysis cell: the influence of operational parameters
(Corresponding) ANTONOPOULOU G., APOSTOLOPOULOS I., BAMPOS G., BEBELIS S., LYBERATOS G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
In the present study two identical two-chamber microbial electrolysis cells (MECs), fed with an acetate synthetic medium, were used for hydrogen production, using different anodic materials, i.e. commercial carbon fiber paper (CP) and graphite granules (GG). The effects of the applied voltage (i.e...Read more
The effect of catalysts MnO2, activated carbon and fly ash on the performance of single-chamber Microbial Fuel Cells
(Corresponding) Tremouli A., Kamperidis T., Pandis P., Stathopoulos V., Ieropoulos I., Argirusis C., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are bioelectrochemical systems that convert the chemical energy contained in waste to electricity, using bacteria as catalysts. In order to boost the power output of MFCs, various approaches are feasible. This study examines the effect of using MnO2, activated carbon and...Read more
