Suspected-target screening for the assessment of pollutants in sewage sludge and assessment of their environmental risk
(Corresponding) Álvarez-Ruiz R., Cuñat A., Picó Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Wastewater generated by human activities contains different organic pollutants from anthropogenic origin. During its depuration in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) sewage sludge is generated, which also contains these pollutants. While water influents and effluents of WWTPs are widely...Read more
Alternative wastewater treatment process with algae (AlgA) – general mathematical model and dynamic simulation
(Corresponding) Lorenz T., Behr A., Theilen U.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Conventional wastewater treatment systems are based on processes including the steps of pre-/ primary, sec-ondary and finally the sludge treatment. In this study a treatment step with algae as an alternative secondary treatment is supposed to improve the biological nutri-ent removal efficiency.

Photocatalytic Removal of Pesticides Present in Agro-industrial Water Effluents
Arfanis M., Theodorakopoulos G., Anagnostopoulos C., Georgaki I., Liappis K., Romanos G., Markellou E., (Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Pesticide residues accumulated in agricultural wastewaters constitute a potential risk for the environment and the human health. Hence, focused actions for their elimination are of high priority for both the industry and national authorities. This work evaluates the effectiveness of the...Read more
Removal of wood dyes from aqueous solutions by sorption on un-treated pine sawdust
Pimentel C., Freire S., Gómez-Díaz D., (Corresponding) González-Álvarez J.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Synthetic dyes are extensively used in industry for various applications among which is the preparation of dyed wood veneers. The discharge of effluents containing dyes is of great concern due to their toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity and causes serious environmental problems. In this...Read more
New polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based porous carbons for the removal of industrial wood dyes from aqueous solutions
Domínguez-Ramos L., Tejado I., Gómez-Díaz D., Freire S., Lazzari M., (Corresponding) González-Álvarez J.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Synthetic dyes degradation is a difficult task due to their complex aromatic structure, although its elimination by adsorption is effective. The aim of this research is to produce porous carbons derived from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as wood dyes adsorbents. PAN is a nitrogen-rich precursor...Read more
Presence and removal of Organic Micropollutants in 8 different Wastewater Treatment Plants and Risk Assessment of treated effluent
(Corresponding) Di Marcantonio C., Chiavola A., Meccoli L., Leoni S., Calchetti T., Gioia V., Mancini M., Frugis A., Cecchini G., Ceci C., Spizzirri M., Boni M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Increasing attention has been paid in the recent years to the presence of Organic MicroPollutants (OMPs) in water, being considered a source of a high risk for public health and environment (Rodriguez-Narvaez et al., 2017). The present study belongs to a wide research activity carried out since...Read more
A comparison of electrooxidation of phenol on boron doped diamond and mixed metal oxide anodes
Djuricic T., Prosen H., Kravos A., Micin S., (Corresponding) Malinovic B.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Phenolic compounds are widespread in wastewater from various industries. Since the phenols are potentially carcinogenic for humans and hazardous for the environment, their presence in wastewater raises concerns. In this paper electrooxidation process was used for treatment of synthetical prepared...Read more
Evaluation of real bilge water toxic effects on methanogenic activity
(Corresponding) Gatidou G., Samanides C., Vyrides I.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Bilge water (BW), an oily residue that is accumulated at the bottom of vessels, is mainly generated from pipes’ and engines’ leakage and consisted of lubricating and diesel oil, cleaning solvents, oily sludge and other hydraulic/engine spills from seawater filtrations as well as fresh and seawater...Read more
Practical impediments to the effective utilization of Ballast Water Management Plan from Port facilities and Shipping practice
(Corresponding) BOVIATSIS M., Polemis D., Tselentis V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Since the new Ballast Water Management Convention entered into force in 2017, the ballast water should be cleansed of any harmful aquatic organisms, pathogens, wastes or even bacteria, before being released into a new aquatic environment. For this purpose, the ships are required to carry i) a...Read more

Use of ornamental plants in floating treatment wetlands for greywater treatment in buildings: preliminary results
(Corresponding) Stefanatou A., Schiza S., Petousi I., Rizzo A., Masi F., Fyllas N., Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs), have been recognized by many researchers for their efficiency in removing pollutants and thus improving wastewater quality. Despite their wide use for treating various types of wastewater, little is known about their efficiency in greywater treatment. In this...Read more
