Hydrogen Generation from Wastewater-Derived Organics via Solar Photocatalysis Using Low-Cost Cu-TiO₂ Composites

(Corresponding) Clarizia L.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Recent research has focused on developing Cu-based TiO₂ photocatalysts for sustainable hydrogen production via solar photoreforming of organic compounds typically present in urban and industrial wastewater. Copper, either in solution or integrated into TiO₂, forms heterojunctions that enhance...Read more

Performance Of Preoxidation And Coagulation In Arsenic Removal From Groundwater For Human Consumption In A Small Rural Community In Western Romania

(Corresponding) Pacala A., Neidoni D., Negrea S., Tenea A., Dinu C., Stefanescu M.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Health problems caused by high arsenic concentrations (over 200 μg/L) in groundwater sources in the Pannonian Basin (Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Serbia) have become a major concern for researchers and environmental experts. This paper evaluates the effect of the preoxidation (with hypochlorite)/...Read more

Removal of organic micropollutants by quaternary treatments controlled by optical sensors

Marino L., Gagliano E., Santoro D., Roccaro P.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are widely applied to degrade persistent organic pollutants. In view of new stringent regulations on organic micropollutants, the real-time monitoring of AOPs became crucial to fulfil the high quality standards over time. A fluorescence sensor was employed to...Read more

Geocoding of fire events in the mountainous region of Ymittos using GIS

(Corresponding) Kelesidi K., Tsouchlaraki A.
Topic: 
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Wildfires in Greece constitute a major environmental challenge with significant ecological, economic, and social impacts. In recent years, their frequency and intensity have increased due to climate change, urban expansion, and lack of integrated planning, making effective management a critical...Read more

Adsorption of Ciprofloxacin by Sugarcane Bagasse Activated Biochar in Aqueous Solution

(Corresponding) Ubiña L., Guia R., Aquino C., Somera L., Balela M., Beltran A., Cornista J., Bautista-Patacsil L.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin (CIP) in wastewater pose a significant and pressing concern as an emerging contaminant. Conventional wastewater treatments are not optimized to effectively remove antibiotics, resulting in their persistence in bodies of water and significantly contributing to a...Read more
