Comparison of sensory odour intensity scales for inexperienced assessors
(Corresponding) Higuchi T., Sekine M., Imai T.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odours discharged from various human activities may cause severe damage to local residents. For appropriate evaluation of environmental odours, it is necessary to develop a reliable odour measurement scale. Since environmental odours consist of many different odorous compounds, comprehensive...Read more

Hyperspectral imaging based cascade detection applied to paper, cardboard, plastics and multilayer packaging sorting
(Corresponding) Bonifazi G., Gasbarrone R., Serranti S.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Recycling of post-consumer packaging wastes involves a complex chain of activities, usually based on three main stages, that is: i) collection from households or recovery from MSW, ii) sorting and, finally, iii) mechanical recycling. This paper investigate the sorting logics, hyperspectral imaging...Read more
An Agent Based Modelling tool exploring decision-making processes for flood risk management
(Corresponding) Koutiva I., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Cities at risk of extreme hydro-meteorological events need to be prepared to decrease the extent of the impacts. However, the majority usually reacts to the catastrophe, having failed to proactively prepare against extremes. This can be a result of both absent structural protection measures and...Read more

Biotechnological conversions of crude glycerol, residue deriving from biodiesel production facilities, by strains of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica
(Corresponding) Papanikolaou S., Diamantopoulou P., Sarris D., Aggelis G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Aim of the present study was to assess the ability of four Yarrowia lipolytica strains (ACA-DC 50109, LFMB Y-20, ATCC 20460 and LMBF Y-45) to grow on biodiesel-derived crude glycerol, the principal residue-stream deriving from biodiesel manufacture. Initial trials were carried out in shake-flasks...Read more
Clean Electro-mobility Solutions Only Using Green Energy Input
(Corresponding) KALDELLIS J., SPYROPOULOS G., KONDILI E., TRIANTAFYLLOU A.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The utilization of electrical cars is considered as the new tool against the serious problems resulting from the oil products consumption of the transportation sector. Actually, many people believe that the adoption of electro-mobility, especially in the urban areas or small-medium size islands, is...Read more

Topic:
Water treatment
The agro-food industry is the main manufacturing industry in Europe, representing 14% of the total turnover and accounting for approximately 1.8% of Europe’s total water use. The absence of effective wastewater management approaches can lead to potential ecological ramifications including...Read more

TiO2/CoFe2O4/Ag NANOCOMPOSITES FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF WATER POLLUTANTS UNDER UV AND SOLAR LIGHT
(Corresponding) Falaras P., Ibrahim I.
Topic:
Water treatment
Novel ternary catalysts TiO2/CoFe2O4/Ag with variable ferrite content were synthesized, characterized and used for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr+6 pollutant, under UV and visible light illumination. Both TiO2 and CoFe2O4 were synthesized using the sol-gel method followed by hydrothermal...Read more
Degradation of Cylindrospermopsin using Advanced Non-Thermal Plasma Technologies
(Corresponding) Schneider M., Rataj R., Kolb J., Bláha L.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The application of non-thermal plasmas in wastewater and air purification received a lot of attention, but their potential application in drinking water treatment has scarcely been investigated. Classified as Advanced Oxidation Processes, plasmas ignited in water or at the air-water interface...Read more
Evaluation of Photocatalytic Materials for Water Purification: Overview of the New CEN Standard Test
Triantis T., Kaloudis T., (Corresponding) Hiskia A.
Topic:
Water treatment
TiO2 photocatalysis offers an attractive alternative to conventional water treatment technologies leading directly to the degradation of organic pollutants, compared to transferring them from one phase to another as in the case of membranes or activated carbon. There is an increasing interest on...Read more

A novel types of compound for surface treatment of carbon nanotubes for more effective application in polymers
(Corresponding) Hangyási K., Varga C., Nagy R., Simon-Stőger L.
Topic:
Green chemistry
Nowadays, beneficial management of plastic and rubber waste from different sources and environmentally friendly ways of recycling is becoming an increasing challenge. A possible solution for that issue could be to produce plastic composites usually consisting of heterogeneous phases. That fact and...Read more
