The presence of organochlorinated pesticides in the marine environment of the Mediterranean Sea: A Systematic Review

TZOURTZOUKLI H., PETSAS A., (Corresponding) VAGI M.
Topic: 
Marine environment and coastal management
Plant protection products, also known as pesticides, are chemical compounds that are used for the protcection of plants against pests, weeds and diseases which affect the quantinty and quality of agricultural products. The present study is a systematic review of the scientific literature regarding...Read more

Degradation of refractory compounds in industrial wastewaters by advanced technologies based on electrochemical and photochemical oxidation

Petsi P., Sarasidis V., (Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic: 
Advanced oxidation processes
Results are presented of a systematic experimental investigation aiming to eliminate refractory organics from industrial effluents, of high and non-biodegradable organic load, by two Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs). Bench scale experiments were performed with real wastewater samples collected...Read more
