Biotechnological treatment of oil mill waste-water to produce high value-added mycelial products.
Diamantis I., Dedousi M., Melanouri E., Fourtaka K., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Several trials with Pleurotus pulmonarius mushroom were carried out in liquid state cultures, in synthetic media containing commercial glycose and olive mill wastewater (OMW) with phenolics concentration adjusted to 10% and 30% v/v. Results demonstrated that at the end of fermentation period the...Read more

Assessment of particulate pollution in a medium sized Greek city - the effect of biomass burning and COVID-19 lockdown
(Corresponding) Diamanti V., Triantafyllou A., Garas S.
Topic:
Air pollution
Airborne particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter of 10μm or less has severe negative effects on human health. In many European urban environments, small residential heating appliances contribute significantly to the degradation of air quality by generating a substantial quantity of PM...Read more

Microalgae biomass cultivation and harvesting optimization in biological carbon capture and utilization systems for biofuels production
(Corresponding) Senatore V., Zarra T., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Napodano P., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The boosting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere due to anthropogenic activity contributes significantly to climate change. According to the Green Deal by 2050, net zero greenhouse gas emissions must be achieved. Therefore, actions are needed in order to control GHG emissions. The...Read more
Life cycle assessment of microalgal membrane photobioreactors
Senatore V., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Lazzarini F., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)

Desalinated Water and Power for a Seaside Hotel: A Case Study using Off-grid Solar and Wind
Tounsi A., Ghamgui M., (Corresponding) Tadeo F.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
A hybrid combination of solar and wind energies for a remote seaside hotel is analyzed. More specifically, a hotel in Hammamet, Tunisia, powered by photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine is evaluated, with water generated by desalination using reverse osmosis. This isolated accommodation...Read more
Average seasonal soil erosion and sediment deposition in the Aliakmon and Axios river catchments using the RUSLE model
Pataki Z., Patera A., Kontopoulos C., Karantanellis E., (Corresponding) Kitsiou D., Nitis T., Kostopoulou M., Grammalidis N., Tzepkenlis A., Charalampopoulou B.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Anthropogenic pressures in coastal areas are responsible for various problems that might cause degradation of their environmental status and limitations in the provision of their ecosystem services. In this framework, the assessment of soil erosion and sediment deposition is of major importance...Read more
