Evaluation of Photocatalytic Materials for Water Purification: Overview of the New CEN Standard Test
Triantis T., Kaloudis T., (Corresponding) Hiskia A.
Topic:
Water treatment
TiO2 photocatalysis offers an attractive alternative to conventional water treatment technologies leading directly to the degradation of organic pollutants, compared to transferring them from one phase to another as in the case of membranes or activated carbon. There is an increasing interest on...Read more

Radiation-induced degradation products of 2-methyl isoborneol and geosmin: the role of different reactive species
CHRISTOPHORIDIS C., PESTANA C., LAWTON L., (Corresponding) HISKIA A.
Topic:
Water treatment
Gamma radiolysis can serve as an effective method for the degradation of organic water pollutants, due to the production of reactive species, oxidative (OH•, OOH•, O2•-) or reductive (eaq-, H•). The application of scavengers enables the selective production of these species. Our aim was to explore...Read more
Hyperspectral imaging based cascade detection applied to paper, cardboard, plastics and multilayer packaging sorting
(Corresponding) Bonifazi G., Gasbarrone R., Serranti S.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Recycling of post-consumer packaging wastes involves a complex chain of activities, usually based on three main stages, that is: i) collection from households or recovery from MSW, ii) sorting and, finally, iii) mechanical recycling. This paper investigate the sorting logics, hyperspectral imaging...Read more
Geogenic Cr(VI) in groundwater of the Pollino Massif (southern Apennines): occurrence and remediation
(Corresponding) Paternoster M., Rizzo G., Sinisi R., Vilardi G., Di Palma L., Mongelli G.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
In this study total Cr, Cr(VI), Ni, major and some trace elements were determined in groundwater of northern sector of the Pollino Massif. The investigated area is characterized by ophiolitic rocks consisting of metabasites and cataclastic and highly fractured serpentinites. Two different hydro-...Read more
Implementation of flow duration curves for evaluating the environmental flow
(Corresponding) Lagogiannis S., Bournas A., Hatzigiannakis E., Baltas E.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
In this research work, the implementation of Flow Duration Curves (FDC) was assessed, as a mean of estimating the environmental flow (e-flow) in rivers segments in Greece. The FDC of fifteen river basins varying in size and geomorphological characteristics and covering a wide area of mainland...Read more
Application of a GIS based distributed model for rainfall runoff simulations
(Corresponding) Andrikopoulou T., Bournas A., Baltas E.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
In this research work, the development and application of a distributed rainfall – runoff model, to be used in flood related simulations was performed. The model utilizes the time–area diagram theory in order to calculate and route the runoff of each grid to the basin’s outlet. The selected study...Read more
Keywords:
Hydrological modelling, rainfall-runoff, GIS, Alfeios, distributed model
The aim of this paper is to analyse time series that might have an impact on prices of energy commodities. Analysis and econometric modelling reveal which time series are corelated and how. This is input for further modelling of forecasting tool for electricity and gas prices (in near future)...Read more
Influence of microbial fuel cell integration on organic matter and nutrient removal in a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Gonzalez T., Miranda J., Vidal G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The combination of constructed wetlands (CWs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has emerged in recent years with the purpose of enhancing wastewater treatment efficiency of CWs while simultaneously generating electricity. Taking the above into account, the aim of this study is to evaluate the...Read more
Co-creating data based on human nose perceptions to study odour nuisance from an oilseed industry
(Corresponding) Teixeira S., Pereira P., Ferreira F.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odour nuisance is the second environmental problem with more citizen complaints after noise. This fact and the lack of odour regulation in Portugal led way to develop a bottom-up approach focused on citizens to co-create the analysis. Despite the existence of odour measuring instruments, the human...Read more
Plastic Litter Project 2018: a feasibility study on detecting plastics in the aquatic environment using drones and satellite images
(Corresponding) Topouzelis K., Papakonstantinou A., Garaba S., Doukari M., Chatziantoniou A., Spondylidis S.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Plastic litter has been shown to pose a significant problem in the marine environment and the food chain at all trophic levels. Within the scope of Plastic Project 2018, we investigated the prospective use of imaging technology on airborne and spaceborne platforms in detecting floating plastic...Read more
