Feasibility of reuse filter backwash water as primary/aid coagulant in coagulation-sedimentation process for synthetic effluent
Lilia M., (Corresponding) Djamal A.
Topic:
Water treatment
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of reusing filter backwash water (FBWW) from the water treatment plant (WTP)as a substitute for the conventional coagulants (primary coagulant) in the coagulation-sedimentation process applied for synthetic effluent.The coagulation effect on...Read more
Pyrolysis of Spirulina sp. Microalgae: Effect of Temperature on Chemical Compositions of Bio-Oil and Aqueous Phase
(Corresponding) Özçakır G., Karaduman A.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Pyrolysis of Spirulina sp. Microalgae was carried out in a semi-batch glass reactor system. Effect of temperature on the yields of pyrolytic products (gaseous, liquid and solid residue) and chemical composition of the liquid products were investigated. All experiments were performed in 25 mL/min...Read more
Co-Pyrolysis of Plastic Wastes: Effects of Temperature and Feedstock Ratio on Chemical Composition of Liquid Product
(Corresponding) Özçakır G., Karaduman A.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Co-Pyrolysis of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Polystyrene (PS) was carried out in a semi-batch glass reactor system. Effects of temperature and feedstock ratio on pyrolytic product yields (gaseous, liquid and solid residue) and chemical composition of the liquid were investigated. All...Read more

OMCEC: A Novel Method for Simultaneous Detection of Composition, Geometry and Motion of Suspended Particles
(Corresponding) Nguyen T., Tang F., Maggi F.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Here, we introduce OMCEC, a laboratory-based system that simultaneously measures the material composition, geometric properties, and motion of individual suspended aggregates in a non-invasive and non-destructive way. OMCEC consists of a full-color high-resolution optical system and real-time...Read more

Health Care Waste Management: Challenges and Solutions
(Corresponding) Halldorsdottir S.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
Limited attention has been paid to health-care waste management despite an increase in public concern about the management of such waste on a global basis. The objective of this study was to analyse the issues and challenges of health-care waste management as well as possible solutions. It is...Read more

Mine water management in abandoned mine sites: from waste to resource
(Corresponding) LOREDO J.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Mine water usually supposes one of the most important environmental problems of the extractive industry, where water quality is dependent of a great number of factors relatives to the ore deposit characteristics and to the exploitation method typology. But if water quality by nature or after...Read more

Εffect of summer drought in the natural regeneration of valonia oak
(Corresponding) PAPADOPOULOS A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
This paper presents an initial attempt to investigate the effect of drought in the mortality of valonia oak (Quercus ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis) seedlings and young saplings in a silvopastoral system in western Greece. The experiment was conducted in fenced experimental plots where the number...Read more
