NORMAN Non-target screening (NTS) prioritisation scheme for ranking thousands of contaminants of emerging concern in effluent wastewater collected from Europe
(Corresponding) Alygizakis N., Dulio V., Von der Ohe P., Slobodnik J., Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Prioritisation of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) remains a challenging task of primary importance for environmental managers and the scientific community as regards the definition of priority actions for pollution prevention & control and for the allocation of resources to address...Read more

Aqueous synthesized mixed-phase nano-TiO2 photocatalysts for water treatment of both organic and inorganic pollutants
(Corresponding) Chalastara K., Demopoulos G.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Nano-sized mixed-phase titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles are synthesized through aqueous hydrolytic precipitation of TiCl4, in an easily-scalable continuously stirred tank reactor, CSTR. Different conditions give tunable mixed phase nanotitania particles consisting of anatase (A), rutile (R) or...Read more
Feasibility of reuse filter backwash water as primary/aid coagulant in coagulation-sedimentation process for synthetic effluent
Lilia M., (Corresponding) Djamal A.
Topic:
Water treatment
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of reusing filter backwash water (FBWW) from the water treatment plant (WTP)as a substitute for the conventional coagulants (primary coagulant) in the coagulation-sedimentation process applied for synthetic effluent.The coagulation effect on...Read more
Systems improvement and energy savings program for the existing conventional extended aerobic treatment of domestic wastewater in compliance of DAO 2016-08 new general effluent regulations
Maceda M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This is a system improvement and energy savings program for a Sewage Treatment Plant treating wastewater coming from a shopping mall operation. Wastewater from shopping mall is considered domestic wastewater, which needs a big volume of water, and produced big amount of wastewater. Generators of...Read more

Chromium VI bioremediation from Tannery Effluent and contaminated soil using Tamarindus indica leaves extract-immobilized nanoparticles
(Corresponding) Babangida S., Aliyu M., Abdullahi S.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The potential for application of bioreduction of Cr(VI) as an alternative to chemical remediation strategy has been highlighted in several works of literature. The objective of the study was to determine Cr(VI) reduction capacity of nanoparticles-encapsulated Tamarindus indica methanolic leaves...Read more

Comparative evaluation of three different membranes for the treatment of a brewery and a dairy treatment effluent
(Corresponding) Plevri A., Gkoumas F., Koumaki E., Noutsopoulos C., Mamais D., Nikolaou M., Magraritis M., Malamis S.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
A laboratory-scale system with a capacity of 7L/h consisting of three different ultrafiltration membranes operating alternatively, was designed and installed at the Sanitary Engineering Laboratory (SEL) facilities. The purpose of this membrane system was to test the performance of alternative...Read more
Biological Oxygen-dosed Activated Carbon (BODAC) filters - A bio-based treatment for wastewater reuse and reclamation
(Corresponding) Larasati A., Bernadet O., Pinela S., Meulepas R., Gagliano M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Water re-use from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) effluent has recently gained more attention. This effluent water usually contains nutrients and trace contaminants, such as organic micro-pollutants (OMPs). Conventional municipal WWTPs are not currently designed to completely remove...Read more
Comparative analysis of two microalgae-bacterial symbiotic association growth in papermill effluent enriched through food waste digestate
Talapatra K., (Corresponding) Ghosh U.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
New treatment methods are needed to better recycle waste towards the circular economy. Microalgae can be used as an asset to treat effluent and simultaneously produce biofuel. This paper aims to evaluate the growth of microalgae-bacterial symbiotic association in papermill effluent enriched through...Read more
