A detailed characterization of household Municipal Solid Waste
Mathioudakis D., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lytras G., Pavlopoulos C., Dimopoulos N., Niakas S., Melanitou H., Lekkas D., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Reliable data on Municipal Solid Waste composition are paramount for the development of environmentally sound, sustainable and economically viable integrated waste management systems. However, no standardized universally accepted waste characterization protocol has been developed, as there are...Read more
Characterization of activated carbon prepared from Aegina pistachio shells for Hg removal
(Corresponding) Karagianni E., Chatzitheodoridis E., Papassiopi N.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Preparation of activated carbon from agricultural bio-products is a promising way to produce useful adsorbents for Hg removal. In this study Aegina pistachio shells were used as raw materials and the activation was carried out by impregnation with ZnCl2 and heating at 750oC under N2 atmosphere...Read more
Bio-Based Phosphate Functionalized Activated Carbon From Indian Gooseberry Seed Shells For The Efficient Copper (II) Adsorption
(Corresponding) Mondal S., Majumder S.
Topic:
Water treatment
Preparation of an efficient activated carbon for the removal of metal pollutants is a challenging research today. The characteristic features of an efficient phosphate functionalized activated carbon, synthesized by following chemical activation process followed by subsequent functionalization from...Read more
"Plastisphere - the holistic approach and numerical description of microplastics surfaces"
(Corresponding) Dąbrowska A.
Topic:
Case studies of macro- and microplastics pollution in coastal waters and rivers
The aim of this research is to discuss the current state-of-art, basic data and the methodology for the quantitative and qualitative physical and chemical characterisation of the marine microplastics (MMs; polymer debris < 5 mm) and the Plastisphere. In particular, the surface of synthetic...Read more

Production and characterization of microalgal biomass from dairy wastewater
Iliopoulou A., Zkeri E., Panara A., Dasenaki M., Aloupi M., Fountoulakis M., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
During the last decade, a large scientific effort has been directed towards the cultivation of microalgae in dairy wastewater. Among different microalgal species, Chlorella sorokiniana is a small, fast-growing, robust microalgae that can be grown under mixotrophic conditions. In the current study,...Read more
Waste Printed Circuit Boards (WPCBs) as a potential source for the recovery of rare earth elements through bioleaching.
(Corresponding) Gonzalez Baez A., Pantoja Muñoz L., Garelick H., Purchase D.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Rare earth elements (e.g., neodymium, dysprosium and praseodymium) have contributed to the miniaturization, energy efficiency, durability, and high speed of many technology gadgets. Due to their electric conductivity, magnetic, luminescence and optical properties, rare earth elements (REE) are...Read more
Classification, characterisation, standardisation and weighting in life cycle analysis (LCA): a case study of teaching innovation for higher education
(Corresponding) San Miguel G.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Training deficiencies in sustainability analysis can pose a barrier to advancing towards sustainable development. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a basic tool in the analysis of the environmental performance of products. This paper describes exercise for teaching innovation for higher education in...Read more
