Photocatalytic nanofiltration reactor for agricultural wastewater purification and reuse
Theodorakopulos G., Arfanis M., Agüera A., Cadena Aponte F., Sánchez Pérez J., Markellou E., Romanos G., (Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
In recent years, the Agrofood industry utilizes pesticides for improving the agricultural production. Nevertheless, the presence of pesticide residues in agricultural wastewater can cause adverse impact on water resources and have harmful effects on human health. Consequently, intensive actions are...Read more
Application of electrochemical peroxidation with nanoscale zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) for selenium removal from oil refinery wastewater
Hansen M., Gutiérrez C., Lazo A., Lazo P., (Corresponding) Hansen H.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This study uses the electrochemical peroxidation process to remove selenium in combination with nanoscale zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) as the iron source. Also, experiments with just the addition of the nZVI doses without current application were carried out. The nanoparticles were synthesized...Read more
Evaluation of solid sorbents for acid flue gas emissions treatment
(Corresponding) Ravina M., Cerutti A., Marotta E., Zanetti G., Panepinto D., Ruffino B., Zanetti M.
Topic:
Air pollution
Removal of acid gases from exhaust emissions of industrial applications (SOx, HCl, HF) still represents a challenge for many sectors, in particular for waste to energy facilities. In dry absorption processes, the solid reagent (typically Ca(OH)2 or NaHCO3) is injected countercurrent to the gas in a...Read more

The benefits of introducing digitization in agricultural sectors
BUTU M., (Corresponding) RODINO S., BUTU A.
Topic:
IoT-based environmental monitoring
The rapid development of digital technologies has propelled the introduction of digitization in all fields. Among them is agriculture. Thus, farmers can benefit from innovations that make their work easier and increase their efficiency. Digitization aims to increase competitiveness in terms of...Read more
Metagenomic Profile of Bacterial Community and Phage in Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant
Nandar Htwe N., (Corresponding) Rollon A., Miyanaga K., Tanji Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
For a better understanding of the microbial community and associated phage abundance in domestic wastewater treatment system, this study did a metagenomics profiling of bacterial community and phage in activated sludge process and chlorination system. The Phylum Proteobacteria is the most abundant...Read more
Interface engineering approaches for efficient and robust perovskite solar cells
(Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
The field of perovskite photovoltaics has been witnessing a surge of interest over the past few years across the breadth of advanced nanomaterials, nanoscience and nanotechnology. Of particular interest, controlling the nanomorphology of the hybrid perovskite absorber can modify intrinsically...Read more

The Development and Implementation of an Environmental Coastal Observatory focused on semi-enclosed Gulfs
(Corresponding) Zervakis V., (Corresponding) Tragou E., Krasakopoulou E., Kolovoyiannis V., Mamoutos I., Androulidakis I., Mazioti A., Potiris E., Kougioumtzoglou R., (Corresponding) Mosiou K., Kalatzi M., Chaniotaki M., Chatzilaou C., Vagi M., Petalas S.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
The recent post-Glacial Mediterranean sea-level rise converted mountain valleys to islandic embayments. These bays exhibit distinct hydrographic and biogeochemical characteristics, seasonally alternating thermohaline functioning and their coastal ecosystems support thriving coastal activities. The...Read more

Improving the homogeneity of a sewage sludge-based phosphorus fertilizer by Monte Carlo simulation of the production chain
Vogt S., (Corresponding) Brueck F., Schnabel K., Weigand H.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Sewage sludge mono-incineration with subsequent phosphorus (P) recovery from the ash is becoming increasingly important in many European countries. Plant operators are facing the challenge to produce a homogeneous P output which needs to conform to fertilizer standards (including trace elements...Read more
