The synergistic effect of H2 injections and applied potential on biogas production during the treatment of industrial potato processing wastewater in a Microbial Electrolysis Cell-assisted Anaerobic Digestion system
Kanellos G., Fragkos O., Flari D., (Corresponding) Tremouli A., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
This study deals with the synergistic effect H2 supply and applied potential, during the treatment of industrial pota-to processing wastewater in a Microbial Electrolysis Cell-assisted Anaerobic Digestion (MEC-AD) system, in order to enhance the quality of the produced biogas. The MEC-AD reactor...Read more
SUS-SOIL: Revitalizing Subsoil Health for Sustainable Agriculture and Ecosystem Resilience in the EU
(Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M., Rodríguez-Rigueiro F., Couso-Viana A., Cavoski I., Ferrari A., Rotllan-Puig X., Soto-Embodas I., Pantera A., Saia S., Tataridas A., Freitas H., Hosseini A., Zander P., Fountas S., Seremetis I., Rodríguez-Aubo N., Ferreiro-Domínguez N.
Topic:
8. ECOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT
About 60–70% of European Union soils are categorised as unhealthy mostly due to the erosion of the topsoil layer and subsurface depletion, meaning soil degradation being a significant danger to global sustainability. Even though it is acknowledged its ecological importance, subsoil is still...Read more
Biomass-related issues and potential windfall profits in the European Union Emissions Trading System
(Corresponding) Tzouvaras N.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Recent European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) legislation amendments elaborate on biomass-related issues, by (1) introducing sustainability and greenhouse gas (GHG) savings criteria (Renewable Energy Directive (EU) 2018/2001; RED II-criteria) applicable in energy production and...Read more

PhotoBioValue project: Microalgae-bacteria consortium for the bioremediation of urban wastewater in pilot-scale photobioreactors
(Corresponding) Salgado E., Ribeirinho-Soares S., Sousa S., Gonçalves A., Ratola N., Pires J.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Two innovative pilot-scale channel photobioreactors (PBRs) were used to culture a microalgae-bacteria consortium in primary urban wastewater. The abundance of total heterotrophs and faecal coliforms, and the concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and seven volatile methylsiloxanes (VMSs) were...Read more

Recovery of aged plastics from waste stored in bales
(Corresponding) D'Amato M., Buonerba A., (Corresponding) Oliva G., Zarra T., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic:
4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Since 1994, baled waste has symbolized the waste management crisis in the Campania Region (Italy). In response to the long-term environmental burden caused by their storage, a regional strategy was launched in 2015, leading to the construction of two dedicated treatment facilities in Caivano and...Read more
A Magnetic Approach to Sustainable Chlorella vulgaris Harvesting: Methods and Applications
(Corresponding) Maia C., Loureiro J., Soares O., Pereira M., Pires J.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Microalgae are unicellular microorganisms with many applications; however, their high harvesting costs compromise their large-scale use. Magnetic separation has been explored as a potential solution for overcoming harvesting challenges. In addition to promoting microalgal harvesting, the magnetic...Read more

Metagenomic analysis of urban wastewater resistome and mobilome: Implications for Reclaimed Water Safety in Agriculture.
(Corresponding) Subirats J., Brown L., Marizzi A.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The reuse of reclaimed wastewater for agricultural irrigation is a promising solution in regions experiencing water scarcity, yet it raises concerns about the persistence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). This study employed metagenomic analyses to...Read more

Concentration ratio of copper to antimony in dust - an indicator for brake dust?
(Corresponding) Lanzerstorfer C.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Sources for antimony in road dust is abrasion of brake pads and brake linings and organic antimony compounds used as additives in grease and oil. Copper is also contained in brake linings and pads, but it is also contained in tire tread. Additionally, copper is released by wear and abrasion of...Read more

Assessment and Mapping of the Drainage Status of Ireland's Peatlands
(Corresponding) Bari M., McCarthy E., Broderick E., Fenton O., Tuohy P.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
Peatlands are an important part of ecosystems that provide benefits for biodiversity conservation, water regulation, and carbon sequestration. However, human activities such as land drainage, peat extraction, and agricultural conversion have significantly degraded these peatlands. This degradation...Read more
