"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

Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Forecast of wave agitation inside port basins and consequent downtime of berth positions are of utmost importance to make a port “smarter” by efficiently managing its infrastructure. Within Accu-Waves project (http://accuwaves.eu), a decision-making tool is being developed to provide forecast data...Read more

Short-time numerical simulation of ultrasonically assisted electrochemical removal of strontium from water
(Corresponding) Licht K., Lončar G., Posavčić H., Halkijević I.
Topic:
Water treatment
3D numerical simulations and measurements on an electrochemical reactor were used to analyze the efficiency of strontium removal from water, with and without simultaneous ultrasound treatment. Ultrasound was generated using 4 ultrasonic transducers with an operating frequency of 25 kHz. The reactor...Read more
