Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Natural calamities and geotechnical hazards pose a major risk in maintaining an area’s public safety and its ability to develop economically. Infrastructures must be built sustainably and robustly for sustainable, disaster-resilient structures. Engineering structures must be studied considering...Read more
Application of Cell Immobilization in the Batch Activated Sludge Treatment of Domestic and Poultry Wastewater Using Carbonized Coconut Shell and Carbonized Rice Hull
(Corresponding) Lingating R., Rollon A.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Domestic wastewater (DWW) and poultry wastewater (PWW) are some of the primary sources of pollution that affect receiving surface and marine waters, potentially causing eutrophication and other environmental concerns. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cell immobilization in the performance...Read more
Revalorized Reverse Osmosis Membranes: A Sustainable Solution for Gray Water Treatment
Carrasco A., Cifuentes F., Gonzalez-Perez T., Cabezas R., Merlet G., Rozas-Galvez A., (Corresponding) Pino-Soto L.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Water scarcity has intensified global interest in wastewater reuse. Greywater, due to its lower contamination load, is a promising source for non-potable applications. This study evaluates the reuse of end-of-life reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, recovered through chemical cleaning and NaClO...Read more

Topic:
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
The increasing demand for sustainable bioenergy has strengthened interest in biogas upgrading technologies that aim to produce pure CH4 by separating CO2 and all other impurities. This study investigates the in situ biomethanation of CO2 by feeding H2 into a 7 L UASB anaerobic digester treating...Read more
Factors Influencing Particulate Matter Variability in an Urban Street in Chios
(Corresponding) Kotrikla A., Salaveri S., Maroulis C.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
This study examines how traffic flow, suburban PM2.5 concentrations, noise and meteorological factors influence particulate matter levels in an urban street. Spearman’s correlation analysis reveals that urban PM10 concentrations are moderately and significantly correlated with traffic flow (ρ=0.574...Read more
