A method for the extraction of microplastics from solid samples using olive oil
(Corresponding) Scopetani C., Pellinen J., Pflugmacher S.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Microplastics (MPs) extraction from sediment, sand and soil samples is a challenge that the scientific community is facing nowadays; currently there are no standardized and validated protocols and the most common methods rely on density separation techniques, often unable to separate high density...Read more
TiO2/Graphene Oxide Heterostructures for Photocatalytic Applications
(Corresponding) Giannakopoulou T., Papailias I., Todorova N., Trapalis A., Bahnemann D.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
In the present work, TiO2/graphene oxide (GO) heterostructures with different concentrations of GO were synthesized by hydrothermal transformation of Na-titanate in basic solution. The morphology of the prepared materials was observed by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and transmission electron...Read more

Elimination of relevant pharmaceuticals in hospital wastewater from Colombia by combination of a biological system with a sonochemical process
(Corresponding) TORRES PALMA R., Serna-Galvis E., Silva-Agredo J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work presents the treatment of selected emerging concern pharmaceuticals in real hospital wastewater (HWW) from Tumaco-Colombia by combination of a biological system with a sonochemical process. Fifteen compounds, commonly present in HWW, were considered: acetaminophen, diclofenac,...Read more
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY, USING BOTH CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DATA
(Corresponding) Dailianis S., Charalambous N., Foiniris S., Komodromou A., Cocilovo C., Dormousoglou M., Lyberatos G., Ntaikou I.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The present study evaluated the operational efficiency of a constructed wetland (CW) located at Andritsaina/Krestena municipality (Western Greece, Peloponnese, Greece), using a battery of tests and bioassays. Specifically, raw WWs entering the CW basins with broadleaf cattail Typha latifolia (raw-...Read more

Systems improvement and energy savings program for the existing conventional extended aerobic treatment of domestic wastewater in compliance of DAO 2016-08 new general effluent regulations
Maceda M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This is a system improvement and energy savings program for a Sewage Treatment Plant treating wastewater coming from a shopping mall operation. Wastewater from shopping mall is considered domestic wastewater, which needs a big volume of water, and produced big amount of wastewater. Generators of...Read more

Bio-Based Phosphate Functionalized Activated Carbon From Indian Gooseberry Seed Shells For The Efficient Copper (II) Adsorption
(Corresponding) Mondal S., Majumder S.
Topic:
Water treatment
Preparation of an efficient activated carbon for the removal of metal pollutants is a challenging research today. The characteristic features of an efficient phosphate functionalized activated carbon, synthesized by following chemical activation process followed by subsequent functionalization from...Read more
Challenging the belief that organic waste and plastic should be diverted from landfill on climate change grounds:
(Corresponding) Hutton B., Norrish M., Horan E.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Abstract Landfill is generally believed to have higher greenhouse gas emissions than composting or waste-to-energy. The EU Landfill Directive requires nations to progressively divert biodegradable waste away from landfill. Waste disposal in landfill is at the bottom of its Waste Hierarchy. Many...Read more
Detection of cyanobacterial toxins and oligopeptides from the Polemidia Dam in Cyprus
(Corresponding) Keliri E., Antoniou M., Edwards C., Mazur-Marzec H.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms are becoming more spatially persistent worldwide. The formation and release, through cell-death and/or excretion, of bioactive metabolites (cyanotoxins) is comprising a reoccurring concern to environmental protection agencies. Cyanotoxins can negatively impact...Read more
Keywords:
cyanotoxins, oligopeptides, tandem mass spectrometry, cyanobacteria, toxicity
(Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M., Ferreiro Domínguez N., Dario A., Francisco Javier R., (Corresponding) Jose Javier S., Rigueiro-Rodriguez A.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Sewage sludge use in agriculture is promoted by the European union since the normative of cleaning waters related to the compulsory use of depuration plants in all cities over 2000 inhabitants was finally implemented in 2005. The USC has been conducted long-term experiment research of application...Read more
European and IMO framework on the disposal of ship waste - Greek legal interventions
(Corresponding) Dede P., Manologlou S., Tselentis V.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
For almost every type of ship-generated waste, there is a variety of waste flows and on-board treatment methods. Studies show that ships use different treatment methods and often only treat part of a waste stream. This results in a difference between the amounts of waste generated and the amounts...Read more
