Reducing sewage sludge ash variability in the context of P-recovery by optimizing the storage management using Monte-Carlo simulations
Vogt S., Brück F., Schnabel K., (Corresponding) Weigand H.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Phosphorus (P) is a critical raw material and the EU largely depends on P-imports to cover its demand. This is increasing efforts to recover P from secondary P-sources such as municipal sewage sludge ashes (SSA) from mono-incineration. Usage of SSA for mineral fertilizer production requires...Read more

Covid-19 effects on environmental aspects and urban life
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly had severe impacts on health care and economies everywhere in the world. This disaster, however, provided us with a unique opportunity: the privilege to watch nature healing due to the restriction measures applied on a global scale. Even though the positive...Read more
The Circular Economy Shift for Business Models: Creating value from waste in the Peach Canning industry
(Corresponding) Paraskevopoulou C., Vlachos D.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
With the Circular Economy (CE) concept emerging, the reorganization of the supply chain (SC) and the reengineering of its processes is highlighted. In Greece, industrialized agriculture and more specifically the peach canning industry can be an important factor for the economy within and outside...Read more
New pillared clays for the removal of pollutants from wastewater by treatment with oxidation processes
(Corresponding) Kalmakhanova M., Massalimova B., Diaz de Tuesta J., Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The constant development of technological processes aggravates the problem of pollution, due to a significant change in the composition of effluents that makes necessary the development of new (and/or improvement of the existing) treatment methods and catalytic materials. In this sense, the use of...Read more
Selective denitrification of lipophilic pollutants from oily wastewater by peroxidation using Janus-structured amphiphilic carbon nanotubes as catalysts
Sanches F., Roman F., Silva A., Diaz de Tuesta J., Marin P., Machado B., Serp P., Silva A., (Corresponding) Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were tested as catalysts in the selective denitrification of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) from oily wastewater by catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO). The CNTs were prepared by chemical vapor deposition, feeding sequentially ethylene (E) and/or acetonitrile (A) during different...Read more
Magnetic CoFe2O4@carbon yolk-shell nanoparticles as catalysts for the catalytic wet peroxide of paracetamol
Silva A., Costa Guari N., Diaz de Tuesta J., Eno Pottker W., Yassue Cordeiro P., (Corresponding) Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work focuses the use of carbon-coated magnetic cobalt ferrite nanoparticles as catalysts for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of the emerging pollutant paracetamol. A magnetic core composed of CoFe2O4 is developed by a sol-gel method. The core is subsequently coated with a formaldehyde-...Read more
Mercury in the coastal waters of Greece under the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD)
Yfanti A., (Corresponding) Paraskevopoulou V., Chalkiadaki O., Botsou F., Panagopoulou G., Stathopoulou E., Zeri C., Tzempelikou E., Dassenakis M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Mercury (Hg) is an environmentally hazardous metal and a priority element in Mediterranean environmental monitoring. Hg is a priority pollutant in the main pieces of European legislation pertaining to the marine environment (the Marine Strategy Framework Directive - MSFD and the Water Framework...Read more
Implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in Cyprus focusing on the European MSPs’ good practices.
(Corresponding) Evagorou E., Mettas C., Tzouvaras M., Loulli E., Prodromou M., Papoutsa C., Themistocleous K., Danezis C., Pekri M., Kyriakidis P., Akylas E., Aliouris K., Ioannou N., Hadjimitsis D.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in each European country aims to bring together different public authorities and stakeholders to sustainably organize and map marine and coastal resources. The first step for the development of MSP was achieved successfully for Cyprus, through...Read more

Impact on the effect of acetic acid in its aqueous forms on environments and its separations by solvent extraction method- A review
(Corresponding) Sofiya K., Karunanithi B.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Acetic acid is one of the top twenty commodities used in various industrial processes. Removal of acetic acid in its aqueous forms is a significant problem, and it cannot be discarded directly to the environment because of its acidity nature. The separation of acetic acid from its aqueous phase is...Read more

Environmental LCA and Carbon Footprint of Cauliflower as Produced in Southeast Spain
Rasines L., San Miguel G., Molina-García Á., Artés-Hernández F., Hontoria E., (Corresponding) Aguayo E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Southern Spain has an optimal climate for growing fruits and vegetables. Over 39,534 ha are currently dedicated to the production of cauliflower and broccoli in Spain, 33% of which correspond to the Region of Murcia. This type of intensive agriculture causes environmental impacts which must be...Read more
