Optimization of advanced bio-based carbon capture and utilization system through technological development and comparison
Mariniello A., Oliva G., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V., (Corresponding) Zarra T.
Topic:
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
Algae-based biological carbon capture and utilization (Bio-CCU) systems represent a promising approach to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations while generating valuable bio-products. The study presents and investigates the optimization of an advanced algal photobioreactor (aPBR), through the...Read more
Cynara cardunculus as a sustainable solution for phytoremediation of antimony contaminated areas.
Tseliou E., (Corresponding) Mystrioti C., Xenidis A., Papassiopi N.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Cynara cardunculus (cardoon) is a promising bioenergy crop, well-adapted to the Mediterranean climate. Recent studies suggest its potential for phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals such as Cd, Ni, and As. This study explores the potential of cardoon for remediating soils...Read more
Optimizing the allocation of bioenergy crops within a typical Greek cropping system to balance sustainable biomass production and nitrates water pollution mitigation.
(Corresponding) Sismanidi M., Kokkinaki L., Panagopoulos Y.
Topic:
9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES
Pinios river basin, located in Thessaly, Greece constitutes the country’s greatest agricultural producer, contributing to the quality degradation of surface and groundwater bodies. To mitigate these effects, integrating bioenergy crops into existing cropping systems presents a promising and...Read more

Optimum selection and placement of agricultural best management practices in Pinios river basin for the mitigation of nitrates water pollution and water scarcity
(Corresponding) Kokkinaki L., Sismanidi M., Panagopoulos Y.
Topic:
9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES
The intensification of agricultural activities, which are crucial for sustaining crop productivity in rural areas, can also lead to the depletion of water supplies and the degradation of water quality. The challenge of addressing nitrates water pollution and water scarcity at a river basin scale...Read more

N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in Drinking Water: A Probabilistic Health Risk Assessment in Asia
(Corresponding) Chowdhury S.
Topic:
10. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING
N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) has been detected in many daily usable items including drinking water, foods, and cosmetics. It can be formed in drinking water during the disinfection process, which has been detected in numerous drinking water systems worldwide, posing significant public health...Read more

Machine Learning (ML) Applications in Water Treatment: Possibilities and Advantages
(Corresponding) Chowdhury S.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Artificial intelligence (AI), especially machine learning (ML) algorithms, has gained traction in water treatment processes (WTPs) for tasks such as process optimization, operational decision-making, and cost efficiency. Since 1997, at least 91 peer-reviewed studies have documented the use of AI in...Read more
Synthesis and application of Z-Scheme g-C3N4/g-C3N5 heterotype homojunction for aquatic pollutants degradation
Sioulas S., Lykos C., Konstantinou I., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are key technologies in wastewater treatment for their effectiveness and low environmental impact. Heterogeneous photocatalysis, particularly using TiO2, has been extensively studied; however, its wide band gap (~3.2 eV) limits its efficiency under solar light...Read more
PAHs-contaminated water and sediment marine habitats shape microbial diversity and community structure in a eutrophic multi-stressed coastal system
(Corresponding) Skylaki E., Zachariadou A., Genitsaris S., Parinos C., Proios K., Hatzianestis I., Velaoras D., Moustaka-Gouni M., Gogou A.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
This study investigates the influence of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) driven contamination on microbial diversity and community structure in seawater and sediment samples from five sites in the Inner Saronikos Gulf and Elefsis Bay, Greece, two marine coastal areas under intense...Read more
Coupling artificial neural network and fluorescence spectroscopy to control CEC removal during AOPs
Fazzino F., Gagliano E., Santoro D., (Corresponding) Roccaro P.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) include anthropogenic compounds frequently detected in natural and engineered water systems at trace concentrations. CEC are relevant due to their high persistence and mobility and adverse effects on humans, wildlife, ecosystems. One of the main challenges is...Read more
Volcanic ash (VA) from Mt. Etna, frequently deposited in surrounding urban areas due to intense eruptive activity, poses significant environmental, infrastructural, and economic challenges, especially related to cleanup operations and air traffic disruption. Traditionally treated as waste and...Read more
