Feasibility of combined anaerobic-aerobic system for textile wastewater contained C. I. Acid Red 88 dye treatment: HRT effects and functional resilience
(Corresponding) Gadow S., Li Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
An integrated continuous anaerobic–aerobic system has been employed as the treatment for synthetic textile wastewater contained C. I. Acid Red 88 dye. A laboratory scale of upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) flowed by activated treatment was operated at hydraulic residence time (HRT) of 24, 12, 6,...Read more

Comparison of the continuous fermentative hydrogen production efficiency from cheese whey in suspended and attached-biomass growth systems
ALEXANDROPOULOU M., LYBERATOS G., (Corresponding) ANTONOPOULOU G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In the present study, comparison of dark fermentation (DF) efficiency from cheese whey (CW) in an anaerobic UpFlow Column Reactor (AUFCR), filled with a support material for biomass attachment and a Continuous Stirred Tank reactor (CSTR), was assessed. The process efficiency and stability as well...Read more

Continuous Flocs Image Analyser (C-FIA) For Flocs Dynamics Tracking During Conventional Water Treatment
(Corresponding) Daraei H., Bertone E., Khedher M., Chow C., Awad J., Akyol B., Duan J., Leeuwen J., STEWART R., Intwala P.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this paper an image analyser termed ‘Continuous Floc Image Analyser (C-FIA)’ developed for tracking the dynamics of floc formation, growth and settling during conventional water-treatment (i.e. coagulation, flocculation, and settling processes) is described. The C-FIA is proposed as an...Read more
Assessing the performance of green nano Zero Valent Iron in column experiments for the removal of NSAIDs from water
(Corresponding) Panagou I., Kalli M., Noutsopoulos C., Mamais D., Koumaki E., Malamis S.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The existence of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment is globally a major concern. Among them, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a vast category of pharmaceuticals that are widely consumed and cannot be completely removed in typical wastewater treatment systems, thus...Read more

Magnetite-decorated catalytic membrane reactor for the continuous-flow CWPO of micropollutants
(Corresponding) López-Aragó N., Nieto-Sandoval J., Munoz M., de Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work aims at developing a contactor type Catalytic Membrane Reactor (CMR) for its application in the continuous removal of micropollutants by Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation (CWPO). For such goal, a porous alumina membrane tube was homogeneously decorated with magnetite nanoparticles...Read more

Investigating the Performance of Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Primary Sludge and Acid Whey Using a Twin Pilot Scale System
(Corresponding) Gkoumas F., Tzivelou E., Gravanis Z., Mamais D., Malamis S., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) has proven to be an effective method for transforming organic waste into biogas, a renewable energy source that can play a crucial role in reducing our dependence on finite fossil fuels. Despite its widespread use, mono-digestion, where a single substrate is utilized, is...Read more
One-stage and multistage anoxic/oxic systems based on continuous plug-flow anammox process for mature landfill leachate treatment
Ren S., (Corresponding) Peng Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
As a promising biotechnology, the anammox process has been increasingly investigated for landfill leachate treatment. However, its application has been limited by the long generation time of anammox bacteria (AnAOB) and insufficient nitrite supply in actual projects. To overcome these obstacles,...Read more
Air quality monitoring and control in complex environments by advanced and integrated system
(Corresponding) Zarra T., Mariniello A., Marino V., Oliva G., Valentino E., Lalicata G., Caputo F., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic:
Air pollution
Large civil engineering projects, such as the construction and expansion of Ports are strategic actions for the social and economic development of territories. Air gaseous emissions are among the most important environmental pressures linked to all stages of these projects. Prolonged exposure to...Read more
