Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
The Mediterranean region is considered as one of the world’s most water-stressed areas where some countries have less than 1000 m3 capita-1 year-1. This situation, exacerbated by climate change, is due to, but not restricted to, the relatively uneven distribution of precipitation, high temperatures...Read more

Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
In the water-poor Mediterranean region, people have always had to cope with scarcity, developing adaptation strategies to meet their essential needs. However, the adaptation capacities in place are put to the test by climate change, unsustainable water use and wastage, contributing to the depletion...Read more

Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The Life ReWeee Project aims to prevent the creation of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), by collecting, shorting and preparing them for reuse or treatment. For this project, two WEEE sorting centers (SCs) were established and operating in the wider region of Attica and Central...Read more
Purification of municipal wastewater by electrocoagulation process
(Corresponding) Leovac Maćerak A., Duduković N., Slijepčević N., Volarić A., Tomašević Pilipović D., Bečelić-Tomin M., Kerkez Đ.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
In this work, the performance of electrocoagulation (EC) processes was investigated under currently defined operational conditions for the purification of municipal wastewater. The experimental removal efficiencies for COD, BOD, total P, turbidity and TSS were 55%, 60%, 79%, 89% and 86%,...Read more
