Effect of Enzyme Treatment on the Properties of Karagumoy Fiber-
Reinforced Plastic Composite
This work attempts to determine the effects of enzyme treatment on the mechanical properties of a natural fiber-reinforced composite using Pandanus simplex (karagumoy) fibers. The properties of...Read more
Strategic Spatial Planning for Green Infrastructure. The case of the metropolitan area of Thessaloniki
Sagovits S., (Corresponding) Pozoukidou G.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
Intense and varying environmental challenges have become one of the most pressuring goals that contemporary cities struggle to meet. Climate change, excessive urbanization and fragmentation of space are just some of the issues that contemporary cities are called to respond to. Thus, finding an...Read more

Assessment of water quality of Asopos River in central Greece using multivariate analysis
Tsadilas C., Tzouvalekas M., (Corresponding) Evangelou E., Papadopoulos S., Papadoulis A., Petsoulas C., Tsitouras A., Grypari P., Smyrnis T.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
The main objective of this study was to assess the quality of water from five monitoring stations in Asopos River (central Greece), and evaluate the main factors that affect the river water quality. Fifty one biochemical parameters measured both in situ and in the laboratory three times a year for...Read more

Ozonation, advanced oxidation and hydrodynamic cavitation for removal of persistant pollutants
(Corresponding) Žgajnar Gotvajn A., Čehovin M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Ozone is commonly used in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in combinations with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and UV radiation (UV). Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) has been experimentally proven to result in effects, typical of AOPs. Combinations of AOPs with O3, H2O2 and UV, and HC (with cavitation...Read more
Improving aquaculture environmental footprint utilizing offshore renewable energy
(Corresponding) LILAS T., Antoniou E., Kotrikla A., Vatistas A., Dagkinis I.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The main environmental impacts of aquaculture include eutrophication, chemical pollution and harm to sensitive marine ecosystems. At the same time, the required energy leads to high emissions of greenhouse gases. Offshore wind turbines are a sector of renewable energy that grows rapidly. Offshore...Read more

Technical optimization of a treatment process on ABE effluent by membrane technologies
(Corresponding) Stoller M., Bravi M., Russo P., Bubbico R., Mazzarotta B., Sed G., Moroni M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
In the last decades, the interest in biofuel production is sensibly growing as a good source of sustainable energy and a valid alternative to fossil ones. One of the most promising biofuel is butanol and might be produced by starting from different substrates, such as second generation ones, that...Read more
Tuning of an advanced control system on a membrane process for tannery wastewater purification and chromium recovery purposes
Marchetti A., (Corresponding) Stoller M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Tannery wastewater represent a hazard to the environment due to its high content of chromium. Conventional methods to purify this wastewater stream are available, but not capable to recover back chromium to the tannery process. Membranes appears to be a promising technology to achieve both targets...Read more

Evaluating production and utilisation pathways of a coupled Anaerobic Digestion (AD) and Gasification/Pyrolysis system using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA).
(Corresponding) Curry R., Cromie T., Somerville G.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Life Cycle Analysis modelling has been applied to an operational Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant, (utilising Cattle Slurry/Grass Silage), currently producing biogas for electricity and heat production, with digestate going to land-spreading. The aim of the research was to evaluate the environmental...Read more
Fuel performance of biodiesel produced from transesterification of microalgae was evaluated to assess its potential as alternative fuel in diesel engine. The biodiesel was produced from transesterification of microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris using K-pumice as catalyst. The engine used in the study was...Read more
