Sustainable musselculture activity in terms of hydrodynamics. The case study of Chalastra basin (NW Gulf of Thessaloniki)
(Corresponding) Savvidis Y., Galinou-Mitsoudi S.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Based on the framework strategic guidelines for marine aquacultures, the musselculture section has to be operated in Areas of Organized Aquaculture Development (AOAD). Chalastra (NW Thessaloniki’s Gulf, Thermaikos) produces the 40% of the national musselculture production using pole and longline...Read more
Can Cell-Phone Tower Signals Help Fight Malaria in Africa?
(Corresponding) David N., (Corresponding) Gao H.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Malaria is one of the major causes of mortality in the world today. Sub-Saharan African countries suffer most acutely from outbreaks of the disease and some 90% of cases of death (hundreds of thousands of people each year) occur in this region. High intensity rainfall is a central parameter leading...Read more
Installation of a sewer mining unit in the Athens Urban Tree Nursery
(Corresponding) Plevri A., Samios S., Lytras E., Papadopoulos K., Lioumis C., Lazari A., Tazes N., Monokrousou K., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Within the framework of the Horizon 2020, a European project called NextGen evaluates and champions transformational circular economy solutions and systems around resource use in the water sector. The Athens demo site is located in the Athens Urban Tree Nursery which is part of the Goudi Park, an...Read more
Anaerobic MBR technology for treating municipal wastewater at ambient temperatures
(Corresponding) Plevri A., Mamais D., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
An innovative way to treat municipal wastewater and produce energy at the same time is anaerobic treatment. Anaerobic processes are traditionally used for high-strength wastewater or municipal sludge treatment and only recently have been applied for the treatment of low strength municipal...Read more
Waste water treatment with agricultural by-products: An investigation with date pit powder
(Corresponding) alghamdi A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Water is very precious and inevitable for every living objects including human beings. Fresh water sources are becoming scarce and all over the world a quantum of research is being carried out on water. Huge quantity of waste water is generated by us every day and there are various methods to...Read more
Micro-pollutants, Oxidants, Catalysts and the Water Matrix: A Harmonic Quartet or the War of the Roses?
(Corresponding) MANTZAVINOS D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs, e.g. heterogeneous and homogeneous photocatalysis, electrochemical oxidation, ozonation, ultrasound irradiation, Fenton and alike reactions, and many more) have been investigated for the treatment of emerging pollutants over the past 20 years (Klavarioti et al.,...Read more
Natural presence of hexavalent chromium in spring waters of South-West Mountain Vermion, Greece
STAMOS A., SAMIOTIS G., PEKRIDIS G., TSIOPTSIAS C., (Corresponding) AMANATIDOU E.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
Hexavalent chromium in water occurs as oxoanions that are toxic for plants and animals. Furthermore, they are soluble and extremely mobile under environmental conditions. Chromium in its other common oxidative state (Cr+3) is less toxic and in general immobile. Chromium is found in nature mainly in...Read more
Formation of artificial lakes is a common practice for hydroelectric power generation. Hydroelectricity is considered to be a green and renewable energy source in terms of factory operation. However, hydroelectricity generation may have environmental impact arisen from greenhouse gas (GHG)...Read more

Mixed Nanostructures/PES/ RO Membrane for Water Desalination
(Corresponding) Shalaby M., Abdallah H., Shaban A., Chetty R., Kumar M.
Topic:
Desalination
Different nanomaterials graphene, zinc nanorode and zinc nanosephere were used in membrane preparation. Polyethersulphone as a main polymer was blended with nanosoultions of these nanomaterials, then coated by composite coating layer consists of polyvinylacohol and titanium dioxide nanotubes to...Read more
Aqueous synthesized mixed-phase nano-TiO2 photocatalysts for water treatment of both organic and inorganic pollutants
(Corresponding) Chalastara K., Demopoulos G.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Nano-sized mixed-phase titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles are synthesized through aqueous hydrolytic precipitation of TiCl4, in an easily-scalable continuously stirred tank reactor, CSTR. Different conditions give tunable mixed phase nanotitania particles consisting of anatase (A), rutile (R) or...Read more
