Environmentally-Extended Multi-Regional Input-Output Analysis of neodymium, cobalt and lithium used in electric vehicles

Martínez-Hernando M., Bolonio D., (Corresponding) García-Martínez M., Ortega M., Llamas J.
Topic: 
Life cycle analysis (lca)
In the transportation sector, the market share of world electric vehicle sales has changed from 0.0% in 2010 to 3.2% (2.1 million) by 2020, and according to forecasts, sales in 2030 may rise to close to 30%. This drastic change is encouraged by environmental goals set to reduce CO2 emissions, not...Read more

Adsorption of antibiotics and dyes with individual and simultaneous mechanisms onto halloysite nanoclay and regeneration by cold plasma bubbling technology of saturated adsorbent

Giannoulia S., Triantaphyllidou E., Tekerlekopoulou A., (Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater reuse
Methylene blue (MB) dye and the antibiotic enrofloxacin (ENRO) were individually and simultaneously removed from aqueous solutions while halloysite nanoclay (HNC) was also regenerated using cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) bubbling. In contrast to Fenton oxidation, the CAP-bubbling method efficiently...Read more

Comparison between plasma microbubbles and gas-liquid dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma for pollutants degradation in water

Meropoulis S., (Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C.
Topic: 
Advanced oxidation processes
This study's main emphasis is the direct comparison between gas-liquid dielectric barrier discharge (GLDBD) and plasma microbubbles (PMB) concerning the kinetics related to the contaminant’s destruction and plasma-activated water composition. As contaminants with different structures,...Read more

Biorefinery model for the production of biofuels and bioproducts from lignocellulosic biomass

Vela-García N., (Corresponding) Bolonio D., J. Chuck C., García-Martínez M.
Topic: 
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
This work studies advanced biofuel and biomaterials production using lignocellulosic biomass from poplar crops. In this sense, lignocellulosic biomass transformation into biojet fuel, bioLPG, green diesel and High-Density Polyethylene (HPDE) was studied through an exhaustive evaluation, including a...Read more

Destruction of Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in water by cold atmospheric plasma

Papalexopoulou K., Ronen A., (Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C.
Topic: 
Advanced oxidation processes
Cold atmospheric plasma was investigated as for the remediation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) contaminated water. The destruction of the highly toxic PFOA is a challenging task since it is a persistent and bioaccumulative chemical causing pollution in waterbodies. In this study, plasma...Read more

Testing a pilot-scale of constructed wetlands for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment using Jordanian zeolitic tuff

(Corresponding) Almashaqbeh O., Lyu T., Alsalhi L., Dotro G., Salaimeh L.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
A pilot scale of constructed wetlands (CWs) was designed, constructed and operated on August 2022 at pharmaceutical factory in Jordan. This pilot is aiming to remove pharmaceuticals (i.e. antibiotics) from treated industrial wastewater generated from secondary activated sludge system. Jordanian...Read more

Decreased Soil Water Content Effects on the Toxicity of Triclosan to Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)

(Corresponding) Miskelyte D., Zaltauskaite J.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Due to the rising amounts of antimicrobial agents in the environment and the lack of knowledge on their ecotoxicity, there is growing concern regarding their effects on the environment. One of the most widely used antibacterial compounds in both personal care and pharmaceutical products is...Read more

Fair and Efficient Allocation of EU Emission Allowances

(Corresponding) Dimos S., Fotakis D., Mathioudaki A., Papadopoulos K.
Topic: 
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Under the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS), the European Union issues and allocates emission allowances (EUA) to the member states to cap the total volume of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Since the first years of operation, the EU ETS allocation procedure has undergone multiple...Read more
