Determination of Emerging Contaminants in Surface Water Resources of EYDAP following wide-scope Target and Non-Target Screening
Nikolopoulou V., Nika M., Aalizadeh R., Miskaki P., Kaloudis T., Deftereos N., Avagianos C., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
The aim of the study was to perform extended monitoring of emerging contaminants in the water samples from three reservoirs of drinking water of EYDAP, Evinos, Mornos and Marathonas. Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) by mixed-mode sorbent was used during the sample preparation to ensure the extraction...Read more

Immobilized rGO/TiO2 photocatalyst for water purification
Zouzelka R., Brabec L., Remzova M., (Corresponding) Rathousky J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The preparation of immobilized graphene–based photocatalyst layers is highly desired for environmental applications. In this study, the preparation of an immobilized reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/TiO2 composite by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was optimized. It enabled quantitative deposition...Read more

Practical Applications of Groundwater Modeling in Contaminated Site Investigation and Remediation
(Corresponding) Toskos T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Modeling is a very useful tool in the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites, that is generally misunderstood and underutilized. Often, modeling is perceived as requiring protracted and expensive efforts, beyond the means of most projects. However, developing a clear set of objectives...Read more
Data Visualization Techniques for Contaminated Site Investigation and Remediation
(Corresponding) Toskos T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Site investigations and remedial actions generate large amounts of data. While tabulating the data is necessary for the purpose of satisfying reporting requirements and comparisons to standards, it does not allow us to understand and explore relationships in the data to obtain important information...Read more
Shipyards, Shipbreaking industry and the contribution of the Industry 4.0
(Corresponding) Pournara A., Konstantinidis F.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Over the past years, a trend to monitor and control the procedures in various industries, has been attempted. It is known that the ship recycling procedure produces waste that turn to be highly dangerous for the environment, while the threat of atmospheric emissions is not yet solved. Today the...Read more

Shipyards and Ship breaking: Opportunities for utilization of steel under the prism of Circular Economy
(Corresponding) Pournara A., Sakkas V.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Among the activities that constitute the process of dismantling a ship is the obligation of proper management of hazardous materials. As almost the entire ship can be recycled, reused or even resold, the ship dismantling industry can also be considered a "green" industry. The steel used...Read more
Study of the potential of Rhodococcus strains for degradation of the pesticide Glyphosate (Roundup)
Gerginova M., Peneva N., (Corresponding) Alexieva Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The experiments were aimed at studying the tolerance of the studied strains of Rhodococcus sp. M1 and Rhodococcus sp. D1 to the presence of Glyphosate (N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine) in the culture medium. A rich organic medium (YEPD), a mineral medium (VD) with 1% glucose and a mineral medium...Read more
Biodegradation of anthracene by an Antarctic fungal strain a member of genus Alternaria
Gerginova M., Stoyanova K., Peneva N., (Corresponding) Alexieva Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
By the aim to characterize the ability of an isolated from Antarctic soils fungal strain termed Alternaria maritima AL10 to degrade anthracene as sole carbon sources at different temperature conditions (23°C and 10°C), research has performed.
The results from GC-MS analysis have shown that the...Read more
