Necessity of Full Implementation of Type Approval for Non Road Mobile Machinery in the Republic of Croatia

(Corresponding) Lulic Z., Sraga V., Šagi G., Ilincic P.
Topic: 
Air pollution
Along with continuous progress in the reduction of emissions from road vehicles, the Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) becomes a more and more important source of emissions. Namely, although the EU Regulation 2016/1628 for NRMM introduces the latest limit emission values known as Stage V, their...Read more

Adsorption isotherm study of copper removal from aqueous solutions onto agricultural by-product

(Corresponding) PSYCHOGIOU M., KAPSALAKI K., SGOUBOPOULOU A., MITROGIANNIS D.
Topic: 
Water treatment
Abstract. Pollution by heavy metals is a serious global problem, both for the environment and for any form of life. There is a growing interest to find low cost agricultural by-products with high adsorption capacity for the removal of heavy metals. In the present study the adsorptive capacity of...Read more

Effect of heavy metals accumulation on the growth and essential oils content of Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L.)

Patrolea E., Nikoli T., Loupasaki S., Grigorakis S., (Corresponding) Lydakis-Simantiris N.
Topic: 
Heavy metals in the environment
The objective of this study was to investigate the accumulation of Cd, Ni and Pb and their distribution in the aboveground and underground biomass of Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L.), as well as the effect on the plant’s content and quality of essential oils. For this purpose, a pot...Read more

Quantitative and qualitative assessment of food waste of the hospitality sector in Greece

Lasaridi K., Manios T., (Corresponding) Abeliotis K., Terzis E., Chroni C., Galliou F., Panteli V.
Topic: 
Food waste
In Greece, approximately 1.8 million tonnes of food waste are generated each year, mostly disposed of in landfill. Food waste is of concern for businesses in the hospitality and food service sectors, which in Greece dispose of an estimated 100,000 tonnes of food waste annually, almost 6% of the...Read more

Adsorptive Removal of Marbofloxacin from Milk using Activated Carbons.

GE X., WU Z., KUNZ W., Barge A., (Corresponding) Giancarlo C.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The present study aims to remove the residual marbofloxacin (MBX) from milk with activated carbons (ACs) in batch and flow systems to meet the maximum residue limits (MRLs, 0.075 µg mL-1). Different types (granular and powder) and amounts of ACs were studied. In batch mode, 50 mg of commercial...Read more

Biological activity of flufenamic acid and synthesized derivates (PFCs) that may occur in the environment

(Corresponding) Šilha D., Šilarová P., Weidlich T.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Polyfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are used in the field of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, impregnating agents, etc. These are predominantly compounds that are difficult to degradate in the environment, and therefore are highly persistent. Many these compounds are known to have toxic effects and thus a...Read more

DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF A POLYMERIC NANOFILTRATION MEMBRANE FOR OLIVE MILL WASTEWATER VALORIZATION PLUS PURIFICATION

(Corresponding) Pulido J.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater reuse
The core of the present work was to model and optimize an environmentally friendly nanofiltration (NF) treatment process for two-phase olive mill wastewater (OMW) valorization throughout concentration and recovery of its phenolic fraction and the obtention of a purified permeate stream. A factorial...Read more
