Adsorption of Gatifloxacin from Aqueous Solution with Highly Stable Zr(IV)-Based Porphyrinic Metal-Organic Frameworks
Chen J., Wang L., Xu G., (Corresponding) Wang X., Zhao R.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Water stable Zr-metal–organic framework nanoparticles (PCN-224 NPs) have been solvothermally synthesized. PCN-224 NPs show spherical shape with smooth surface and particle size of approximately 200 nm. PCN-224 NPs can be stable in acid and aqueous solutions, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction...Read more
Application of Risk Analysis to landfills: the experience of Brescia (Italy)
(Corresponding) Vaccari M., Gibellini S., Arnaboldi G.
Topic:
Solid waste management
In the Italian authorization procedure for the construction of a landfill, the Risk Analysis is mandatory in case of request for derogation from the current legislation (D.M. September 27, 2010), in order to demonstrate that there is no risk for the environment. This contribution describes the...Read more
Site selection of hybrid solar/wind renewable energy systems: A case study from Andros, Greece
Bili A., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The combination of two or more forms of Renewable Energy Sources at the same spatial scale is a highly promising sector, resulting in an increase in the number of installations of hybrid RES systems. In Greece, where abundant resources such as wind and sun are available, the combination of these...Read more

Pyrolysis of Waste Plastic Laminates and Coconut Husk: Optimization of Fuel Oil Yield, Higher Heating Value and Energy Value
(Corresponding) Olalo J., Rollon A., Reyes J.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Operating parameters such as percentage composition, process temperature, and particle size affects the outcome of the co-pyrolysis of coconut husk and plastic laminates. Highest yield of 31.17% occurred at 600oC, 5cm particle size and 32% of coconut husk. The corresponding energy value was 1.89688...Read more
