Cırcular Economy And Lıfe Cycle Assessment For Wıne Sector
(Corresponding) Matarazzo A., Villari E., Spadaro G., Vazzano A., Zerbo A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Wine production contributes to a variety of environmental loads, mainly due to the use of fertilizers and pesticides in the vineyard and to the production of glass bottles. Sicily, in particular, holds the record for the major production of wine in the South of Italy, favored by pedoclimatic...Read more

Smart Technologies for the Control of Emerging Contaminants in Ambient Air
(Corresponding) Galang M., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Air quality protection and control is an issue of growing interest. The aspects related to the spread of the coronavirus have accentuated this attention. Furthermore, among the emerging contaminants (EC’s) in ambient air, the microplastics (1 – 5 μm) are a great concern arising from anthropogenic...Read more

Performance evaluation of flue gas cured calcium rich fly ash based building blocks
(Corresponding) Usta M., Adegbile M., Gregor A., Paaver P., Hain T., Yoruk C., Uibu M., Trikkel A.
Topic:
Mineral carbonation of alkaline waste materials
This work focuses on the local alkaline wastes of Estonia where different waste streams were studied for the performance testing of the fly ash based building blocks. Fly ash from oil shale direct combustion and wood fly ash from district heating plant were considered in the applications for...Read more

Quantifying and mapping urban trees' decay severity using thermal and spatial indices: implications for tree hazard assessment and management
(Corresponding) Zevgolis Y., Troumbis A.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Wood decay, a crucial factor in tree stability, is an internal long-term interaction between fungi and tree that leads to the disruption of energy flow, temperature abnormalities on the tree's surface, and possible tree mortality, especially when the decay extent is close to the threshold of...Read more
Keywords:
Urban tree stress, infrared thermography, geospatial analysis
In pine stands systematic harvesting of forest products, such as resin extraction, are known to affect trees’ vitality and consequently their response to fungal diseases. The latter constitutes a serious threat for standing vigorous trees, thus early warning signals and short diagnosis time of...Read more

This study analyses the colour acquired by oxidizing paracetamol aqueous samples through the combined US/H2O2 technology. When operating with only the action of the waves [US]=1.0 kWh/mmol C8H9NO2, the water acquires progressively hue according to a ratio of 0.0004 AU/min, with a degradation output...Read more
Comparison of caffeine oxidation by Fenton reagent in combination with UV light and ultrasound waves
(Corresponding) Villota N., Lomas J., Ferreiro C., Lombraña J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The oxidation of aqueous caffeine solutions ([Ca]0=100.0 mg L-1) was analysed, operating at pH=3.0 and 25ºC using different AOPs, which combine the Fenton reagent ([H2O2]0=15.0 mM and [Fe2+]0=20.0 mg L-1) with low power UV light (15W,), medium (150W), and high (720 W). The Fenton reagent, combined...Read more
Correction of the predicted wave characteristics using regression methods – a case study for the Iberian coastal environment
(Corresponding) Rusu L.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The west Iberian coast is affected by various storms developed in the North Atlantic Ocean. For this reason, an accurate prediction of the sea state conditions is very important to manage the protection of the harbours and population living in the coastal cities. In recent years computing power has...Read more
Keywords:
SWAN, West Iberian coast, hindcast wave data, correction, regression methods.
Waste Printed Circuit Boards (WPCBs) as a potential source for the recovery of rare earth elements through bioleaching.
(Corresponding) Gonzalez Baez A., Pantoja Muñoz L., Garelick H., Purchase D.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Rare earth elements (e.g., neodymium, dysprosium and praseodymium) have contributed to the miniaturization, energy efficiency, durability, and high speed of many technology gadgets. Due to their electric conductivity, magnetic, luminescence and optical properties, rare earth elements (REE) are...Read more
The Quality Properties of Tire Tread With Adding Filler of a Sunflower Oil and Pinecone Powder
(Corresponding) Akpinar Borazan A., Alkan A.
Topic:
Sustainable supply of raw materials
This study, aimed to be developed economical and environmentally friendly tires by modifying commercial tire tread using pinecone powder and sunflower oil. Different additives were used in the blend formulations: stearic acid as an accelerator and softener supplement, zinc oxide to increase the...Read more
