Cometabolic biotransformation of organic micropollutants under aerobic heterotrophic conditions
(Corresponding) Kennes-Veiga D., Vogler B., Fenner K., Carballa M., Lema J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The role that heterotrophs present in activated sludge play in the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) has not been clearly elucidated despite their increasing relevance in the conception of novel wastewater treatment plant technologies. OMPs are often present in wastewaters at concentrations...Read more
An integrated and comprehensive tool to assess urban mobility strategies
(Corresponding) Huertas J., Huertas M.
Topic:
Air pollution
Transport planning is a challenging topic to be addressed in urban areas in order to create sustainable cities, due to the adverse health effects, noise and congestions generated by the transport sector. Therefore, policymakers require technical tools that allow to take regulatory transport...Read more

Relationship of satellite-derived atmospheric CH4 concentrations with agriculture sector CH4 emissions in Turkey
Ceylan E., (Corresponding) Kaynak B.
Topic:
Air pollution
In this study, bottom-up annual CH4 emissions from agriculture (rice cultivation, enteric fermentation and manure) were calculated with the IPCC Tier 1 approach on county-level, and province totals were obtained for the first time in Turkey. Konya, which produces the highest annual CH4 emissions (...Read more
A Water-Based Approach for Addressing RES Integration Challenges in Insular Energy Systems
(Corresponding) Tzanes G., Makropoulos C., Zafirakis D., Kaldellis J., Stamou A.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
High shares of RES-based power capacity in island electricity grids often imply significant energy curtailments of non-dispatchable power generation, which in turn limits islands’ capacity to leverage RES environmental and economic benefits. The presence of energy storage systems and/or grid...Read more

Enhanced commercial and 3D-printed bio-carriers improve wastewater treatment performance: A critical mini-review
(Corresponding) BANTI D., SAMARAS P.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
An advanced wastewater treatment technology, simple, uniform, reliable and stable in its operation, which at the same time is highly competitive from the economic and environmental point of view, is Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR) performed with the contribution of bio-carriers. This review...Read more

Monitoring the algae biomass growth developed on hollow fiber membrane bioreactor
Novoa A., (Corresponding) Luca F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This work focuses on using non-destructive imaging techniques to monitor in-situ the formation of algae biomass on hollow fiber membrane bioreactor treating wastewater. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was employed to acquire cross-sectional scans of the algae growth in real-time under continuous...Read more
Towards decentralizing the energy system: production of bioenergy and bioproducts via anaerobic digestion
(Corresponding) VLACHOKOSTAS C., MICHAILIDOU A., (Corresponding) ACHILLAS C., (Corresponding) MOUSSIOPOULOS N.
Topic:
Biowaste
The model of circular economy has gained worldwide interest. Within its concept, biodegradable waste is viewed as a beneficial resource that needs to be re-introduced in the supply chains. The use of raw materials, energy, and water is also to be minimized. Undeniably, a strong link exists between...Read more

Morphological analysis approach to detect microfiber contamination in Mytilus galloprovincialis
(Corresponding) Volgare M., Santonicola S., Gentile G., Errico M., Castaldo R., Avolio R., Raimo G., Gaspari M., Colavita G., Mercogliano R., Cocca M.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Microplastic pollution is a widespread threat for marine fauna. Mussels are good candidates for assessment of microplastic exposure in the environment because of their wide geographical and spatial distribution and their filtration system. In this work the 65% of analysed mussels assessed the...Read more
The role of microbiological community on organic micropollutants biotransformation in anoxic conditions
(Corresponding) Martinez-Quintela M., Balboa S., Suárez S., Omil F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Information about the biotransformation of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in biological systems is currently scarce, particularly in anoxic environments. A lab-scale reactor was set up to elucidate which is the biological mechanism driving OMPs biotransformation in heterotrophic denitrifying...Read more
Application of the PALM4U Model Coupled to WRF/Chem Model to Evaluate Wind Comfort and Air Pollution Impacts for Urban Scenarios
(Corresponding) SAN NJOSE R., PEREZ CAMANYO J.
Topic:
Air pollution
Air pollution and wind comfort are both important indicators of quality of life in urban environments. This study examines the influence of a tree area (Green Park) on the wind patterns and air pollution concentrations over a downtown urban area (1 km x 1 km) in Madrid (Spain) with the CFD PALM4U...Read more
