Benchmarking indicators to assess the level of circular economy strategy in Local Level
Loizia P., Inglezakis V., Navarro Pedreno J., Lasaridi K., (Corresponding) Zorpas A.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Sustainable waste management is an important global environmental agenda in the twenty- first century. The quantity of global waste increases as the population and the level of resource consumption rise over time. The increased generation of waste is also producing bigger environmental deprivation...Read more
Quantifying the impact of volunteerism in the framework of waste management strategies in Cyprus
Angeli A., (Corresponding) Zorpas A.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
Waste Management strategies as a result of the production and consumption line (not cycle) are on the top of the global challenges, within the framework of the seventeen United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Based on the World Bank projections, the global waste generation levels...Read more

Approaches to tackle emerging challenges in European aquaculture
(Corresponding) Jacopo B., Federico H., Davide F., Marco P.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The word demand for fish is increasing. Whilst on one hand, fishing is carried out in a not sustainable ways in the main fishing areas (e.g., overexploitation of natural stocks, remarkable fuel and energy consumption), on the other hand, acquaculture, above all when not performed inland, involves...Read more

Topic:
Water treatment
Contamination of water resources with Arsenic poses serious health concerns because of its toxic and carcinogenic nature. Detection of Arsenic at concentrations higher than 10 parts per billion (ppb) in some Philippine water resources confirmed the need for further studies on the contamination and...Read more

Investigation of Shoreline Morphometry of Kızılırmak Delta’s Lagoons Using Fractal Dimension and Shoreline Development Index
(Corresponding) UYAR A., OZTURK D.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
In this study, shoreline morphometry of the Karabogaz, Balik, Uzun, Cernek, Liman, Gici and Tatli lagoons which are located in the Kızılırmak Delta, was investigated by using fractal dimension and shoreline development index. The shorelines of the lagoons were obtained from Landsat 8 OLI satellite...Read more

Performance Evaluation of Mass Transfer-Based Method using Global Performance Index in Semi-Arid Region Saudi Arabia.
Islam S., Abdullah R., Hirol H., Mallick J., (Corresponding) Khan R.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
The standard method for the estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is FAO-Penman-Monteith (FAO56-PM). However, it requires various climatic parameters which are often hard to achieve due to various reason. In order to bridge this gap an alternative equation has to be find out. The main...Read more

Anaerobic digestion of long-chain fatty acids (oleic, palmitic, stearic) with whey protein as the emulsifier
(Corresponding) Eftaxias A., Michailidis C., Diamantis V., Aivasidis A.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Long chain fatty acids are suitable for biogas production, however, they are often responsible for process inhibition, due to their high toxicity even at low concentrations. In this study, anaerobic co-digestion of whey protein emulsified with oleic, palmitic or stearic acid were examined in...Read more
Keywords:
anaerobic digestion, biogas, emulsification, fat oil and grease, LCFA
Nitrification inhibition test of salty wastewater containing Tetrakishydroxymethyl phosphonium sulphate (THPS), formaldehyde and methanol using salt-adapted nitrifying bacteria, an alternative test method to ISO method
(Corresponding) Chhetri R., Kokkoli A., Karvelas S., Andersen H.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Nitrification inhibition test is a standard method to test if the chemicals or samples received by wastewater treatment plant are toxic to the nitrifying bacteria in the wastewater treatment plant. Nitrification inhibition test based on ISO method ISO9509 or modified ISO9509 method (REFLAB method)...Read more

Valorisation of ovine cheese whey through PHA production
(Corresponding) Asunis F., Brundu A., Carucci A., Cocco F., De Gioannis G., Isipato M., Muntoni A., Spiga D.
Topic:
Biowaste
The ovine dairy supply chain plays an important role in Mediterranean economic systems and is experiencing a much needed phase of development and innovation looking beyond traditional dairy products. The same attention to innovation has not yet been applied to the management of the effluents...Read more
