Comparison of the continuous fermentative hydrogen production efficiency from cheese whey in suspended and attached-biomass growth systems
ALEXANDROPOULOU M., LYBERATOS G., (Corresponding) ANTONOPOULOU G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In the present study, comparison of dark fermentation (DF) efficiency from cheese whey (CW) in an anaerobic UpFlow Column Reactor (AUFCR), filled with a support material for biomass attachment and a Continuous Stirred Tank reactor (CSTR), was assessed. The process efficiency and stability as well...Read more

Continuous Flocs Image Analyser (C-FIA) For Flocs Dynamics Tracking During Conventional Water Treatment
(Corresponding) Daraei H., Bertone E., Khedher M., Chow C., Awad J., Akyol B., Duan J., Leeuwen J., STEWART R., Intwala P.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this paper an image analyser termed ‘Continuous Floc Image Analyser (C-FIA)’ developed for tracking the dynamics of floc formation, growth and settling during conventional water-treatment (i.e. coagulation, flocculation, and settling processes) is described. The C-FIA is proposed as an...Read more
Assessing the performance of green nano Zero Valent Iron in column experiments for the removal of NSAIDs from water
(Corresponding) Panagou I., Kalli M., Noutsopoulos C., Mamais D., Koumaki E., Malamis S.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The existence of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment is globally a major concern. Among them, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a vast category of pharmaceuticals that are widely consumed and cannot be completely removed in typical wastewater treatment systems, thus...Read more

Magnetite-decorated catalytic membrane reactor for the continuous-flow CWPO of micropollutants
(Corresponding) López-Aragó N., Nieto-Sandoval J., Munoz M., de Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work aims at developing a contactor type Catalytic Membrane Reactor (CMR) for its application in the continuous removal of micropollutants by Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation (CWPO). For such goal, a porous alumina membrane tube was homogeneously decorated with magnetite nanoparticles...Read more
