Utilization of alkaline converted ash blends from lignite and biomass combustion for carbon capture
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Dimitrov M., Zabov E., Winter F., Popova M.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
The replacement of fossil fuels by renewable biofuels is one of the ways to limit climate change and improve the quality of the atmospheric air. For existing solid fuel combustion plants, a partial replacement of coal with biomass from wood or agriculture waste is applied. In this paper the effect...Read more
Physicochemical and spectroscopic characteristics of compost from vineyard waste and wine lees valorization
Manoli P., Rapti I., Tzakou C., Rontou A., Patakioutas G., (Corresponding) Hela D.
Topic:
Sustainable production and management of biomass
The present study deals with the analysis of chemical and spectroscopic characteristics of compost as a valorization product of vineyard and winery wastes within circular economy. The C/N ratio showed a stabilized compost. HA was increased at the final stage and low E4/E6 values denoted a mature...Read more
Real scale application of visible light responsive photocatalytic paints for indoor air quality
(Corresponding) Maggos T., Panagopoloos P., Theodorou C., Nikolakopoulos A., Skliri E., Gagaoudakis E., Kiriakidis G., Binas B.
Topic:
EU Projects showcase
In the frame of a LIFE19 project named “VISIONS”, an innovative photocatalytic paint was produced for healthy environment and energy saving purposes. To that end a photocatalytic powder was optimized in order to be mixed in paints without downgrading paint physical properties and to reduce...Read more
Modelling Closed-Water Loops in the Process Industries
(Corresponding) Karkou E., Savvakis N., Aryblia M., Arampatzis G.
Topic:
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Global water scarcity poses a significant challenge for the process industry, especially in water-stressed areas. Population growth and rapid industrialization make evident the necessity to incorporate sustainable and efficient water management strategies in the industrial sector. This study aims...Read more

Removal of copper (II) from aqueous solution using biopolymer-based materials: Theoretical and statistical physics investigation for wastewater treatment
ELBOUGHDIRI N., FERKOUS H., ROUIBAH K., DELIM A., BOUBLIA A., ALGETHAMI J., ALQAHTANI M., JEON B., (Corresponding) Yadav Y., BENGUERBA Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Pollution from heavy metals is increasingly recognized as a major threat to Earth's ecosystem. Due to the potential economic and ecological consequences, there is an urgent need to develop waste management systems and strategies for disposing of copper ions (Cu2+) from the industrial sector...Read more

Trace Metals in the water column of the coastal zone in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba
Tzempelikou E., Parinos C., Zeri C., Iliakis S., Pavlidou A., (Corresponding) Abualnaja Y.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study trace metals concentrations in the water column are presented along the coastal zone of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea (Saudi Arabia). This is a baseline assessment of the metal pollution status of the water using trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) measurements obtained...Read more
Keywords:
Coastal marine environment of Saudi Arabia; trace metals; Red Sea; Gulf of Aqaba.
Enabling sustainability and resilience in industries through the value chains’ circularity and digitalisation
(Corresponding) Aryblia M., Sarantinoudis N., Tsinarakis G., Arampatzis G.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Living for the last decades in a linear world has emerged the necessity for resources reduction, reuse, and recycling, leaving behind the “take-make-waste” economic model and jumping over towards a cyclical ecologic system. Especially for the industrial environments, the efficient management of...Read more

A comprehensive monitoring approach to evaluate the impact of an urban landfill on a naturally reducing aquifer
(Corresponding) Preziosi E., Parrone D., Frollini E., Ciotoli G., Sciarra A., Ruggiero L., Ghergo S.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The processes leading to high levels of arsenic, iron, and manganese in a naturally reducing aquifer beneath a landfill are investigated. Traditional groundwater monitoring (physical-chemical parameters, major and trace inorganic compounds, organic compounds) has been complemented with the analysis...Read more
Speciation of inorganic and organic arsenic forms using HPLC-ICP-MS technique in aqueous matrices
Tenea A., Dinu C., (Corresponding) Vasile G., Iancu V., Niculescu M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The aim of the study was to develop, optimize and validate an analytical method for the simultaneous detection and quantification of As species (As (III), dimethylarsinate (DMA), monomethylarsonate (MMA) and As (V)) from various water matrices (drinking water, surface water and groundwater) using...Read more
Keywords:
As species, HPLC-ICP-MS, detection, organic and inorganic forms
Identification and quantification of organochlorine pesticides by GC-ECD in environmental matrices
(Corresponding) Cojocaru V., Cristea I.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
An analytical method for the determination of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) (α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH (Lindane), δ-HCH, Aldrin, Dieldrin, Endrin, DDT, DDD, DDE, Heptachlor, Chlordane, Endosulfan I and Endosulfan II) in environmental samples (wastewater, soil) uses liquid phase extraction and gas...Read more
