Sustainable and Cost-effective Approach for Treatment of Plating Industrial Wastewater Effluents
(Corresponding) Boguniewicz-Zablocka J., Naddeo V., (Corresponding) Corpuz M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The wastewater resulting from the plating industry contains high contents of toxic metals, such as chromium, which is a serious threat to the environment due to its cumulative effects and non-degradability. Several methods have been actively investigated to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous...Read more

Coffee ground biosorbent for nitrite and nitrate recovery and soil nutrient
Ying T., (Corresponding) Sethupathi S., Hon L.
Topic:
Recycling of materials to new products
Nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) are two forms of nitrogen that contribute to the occurrence of eutrophication if found in excess concentrations. Conversely, nitrogen is one of the major macronutrients required for healthy plant growth. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the recovery of NO3-...Read more
Low-cost and rapid paper-based microfluidic device for wastewater surveillance at low-resource settings
Pan Y., Hui Q., (Corresponding) Yang Z.
Topic:
Environmental Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes respiratory illness and gastrointestinal infections, with viral material being excreted in feces (and surviving within sewage for several days). Here, we propose a low-cost and user-friendly paper-based microfluidic device...Read more

Application of KO2/ClO- advanced oxidation process to degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on example of phenanthrene
(Corresponding) Nowakowski M., Andrzejewski P., Wolski R.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Novel advanced oxidation process based on KO2 and ClO- was applied to degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It is a wide group of compounds which are negative impact on human health. Phenanthrene was chosen to represent this group of compounds due to its relatively good solubility in...Read more
Use of recycled construction and demolition waste as substrate in hybrid constructed wetlands for the treatment of Olive Mill Wastewater.
Kotsia D., Anastasiadi Z., (Corresponding) Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid constructed wetlands (CWs) for treating olive mill wastewater (OMW) using recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste as substrate material. The experiment was conducted at the outdoor research facility of the...Read more

Purification of municipal wastewater by electrocoagulation process
(Corresponding) Leovac Maćerak A., Duduković N., Slijepčević N., Volarić A., Tomašević Pilipović D., Bečelić-Tomin M., Kerkez Đ.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
In this work, the performance of electrocoagulation (EC) processes was investigated under currently defined operational conditions for the purification of municipal wastewater. The experimental removal efficiencies for COD, BOD, total P, turbidity and TSS were 55%, 60%, 79%, 89% and 86%,...Read more
An easy numerical evaluation of the DM growth in Self-Forming Dynamic Membrane Bioreactors (SFD MBR) for Wastewater Treatment
Castrogiovanni F., (Corresponding) Salerno C., Berardi G., Tumolo M., Pollice A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In the last years, self-forming dynamic membranes (SFD MBR) revealed as one of the most innovative technological solutions for wastewater treatment. In these systems, filtration takes place through a cake layer (Dynamic Membrane, DM) supported by a 10-200 µm filter mesh.
Filtration efficiency may...Read more
SYMSITES-EcoSites Implementation for Industrial-Urban Symbiosis through Social and Technological Solutions
(Corresponding) Pérez E., Osmdan P., Blanes M.
Topic:
EU Projects showcase
The SYMSITES project aims at implemeting the Industrial - Urban Symbiosis (I-US) concept by newly developed technologies and solutions for wastewater treatment and reuse supported by an IT Management system, while applying a digital and circular economy. This will be achieved with local and...Read more

Technologies for the Removal of Microplastics from Wastewater: A Short Review
(Corresponding) Corpuz M., Buonerba A., Napodano P., Hasan S., Choo K., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
One of the major routes of microplastics (MPs) to the environment is through the wastewater treatment plants’ (WWTPs) discharge to water bodies. Due to their dimensions (< 5mm), MPs tend to be ingested by aquatic species, and eventually, may cause adverse impacts on the environment and to human...Read more
Modelling Closed-Water Loops in the Process Industries
(Corresponding) Karkou E., Savvakis N., Aryblia M., Arampatzis G.
Topic:
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Global water scarcity poses a significant challenge for the process industry, especially in water-stressed areas. Population growth and rapid industrialization make evident the necessity to incorporate sustainable and efficient water management strategies in the industrial sector. This study aims...Read more
