Mitigation potentials of tree-crops: An economic evaluation of trading-off carbon sequestration with actual market goods.
Bithas K., (Corresponding) LATINOPOULOS D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
As climate objectives are far from being reached under the prevailing policies, more concrete actions should be undertaken, and all possibilities should be exploited. Land-based mitigation potentials are emerging as a cost-effective mitigation prospect. CO2 sequestration is an essential ecosystem...Read more
Removal of amoxicillin from processing wastewater by ozonation and UV-aided ozonation: a kinetic and economic comparative study
Ribeiro M., Ramos B., (Corresponding) de Castro Peixoto A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
A novel empirical and scaling up simulation study is presented for degradation and mineralization of real residue of amoxicillin (AMX) pharmaceutical formulation in wastewater. A set of UV-ozone-based experiments was used in the kinetics modeling of AMX, considering several chemical/photochemical...Read more
Biodiesel Properties from Chlorella sorokiniana Bio-Oil Cultivated Heterotrophically with Industrial By-Products
Kokkalis A., Kasiteropoulou D., Papadopoulou A., Metsoviti M., Mpesios A., Gougoulias N., Spiliotis X., (Corresponding) Papapolymerou G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The fatty acid (FA) distribution of bio-oil derived from Chlorella sorokiniana and the biodiesel basic properties were examined. C. sorokiniana was cultivated heterotrophically in two growth media: a) glycerol and inorganic salts (GLIN) and b) glycerol and anaerobic digestrate (GLAD). The...Read more

EVALUATION OF PHOTOCHEMICAL DEGRADATION OF ANTIVIRAL ACYCLOVIR BY UVC/PS & UVC/H2O2 IN SYNTHETIC FRESH AND HYDROLYZED URINE
Drosou C., Tyrovola K., (Corresponding) Xekoukoulotakis N.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The increasing presence of contaminants of anthropogenic origin in the aquatic environment raises the concern of the scientific community (Patel et al., 2019). Antiviral drugs play an important role, as their presence in aquatic bodies is associated with antiviral resistance and chronic toxicity to...Read more
Electronic Navigational Charts Portrayal and S-100 Standard based Services for Environmentally Sensitive Sea Areas
Stilianos C., (Corresponding) Nakos B.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Data and information on the condition and variability of the marine environment are crucial for understanding changes that result from human activity, including the effects of human-induced climate change. Large quantities of marine related data are collected and stored globally for a wide variety...Read more

Application of solar photo-Fenton oxidation coupled with granular activated carbon as a viable option for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern in the urban wastewater of India
Karaolia P., Korelidou A., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
It has been estimated that approximately 62 billion litres of sewage are generated every day in India, with only 37% of sewage being treated (Saxena et al., 2021). Wastewater treatment issues such as dysfunctional UWTPs with many of them operating at low service levels compared to the design...Read more

The impact of COVID-19 partial lockdown on air pollution levels – A case study of Cyprus
Demetriou M., (Corresponding) Zorpas A.
Topic:
Covid-19 effects on environmental aspects and urban life
This study aims to analyze the changes in air pollution levels during lockdown measures in Cyprus. Lockdown measures came into force from March 13th 2020, few days after the first COVID-19 case was registered. The study analyses the data from different air quality monitoring stations in Cyprus in...Read more
