Management of Table Olive Wastewater (TOWW) in Turkey
(Corresponding) Dolgen D., Alpaslan M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Table olive is very important agricultural product for Turkey. It has a great market share in the country and also have high export potential. Management of table olive wastewater (TOWW) is an emerging and important issue, since large volumes of TOWW are discharged with high concentrations of...Read more
Assessing the performance of an integrated column system containing zero valent iron nanoparticles and sodium persulfate solution for the removal of emerging contaminants from different wastewater matrices – Identification of transformation products
(Corresponding) Barka E., Nika M., Galani A., Mamais D., Thomaidis N., Malamis S., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment has raised the scientific concern because of their continuous discharge, their bioaccumulation and their potential adverse toxicological impacts on both aquatic organisms and human health. The present study has been focused in the...Read more

Degradation assessment of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) debris after long exposure to marine conditions
(Corresponding) Lourmpas N., Efthimiadou E., Filippides A., Papanikos P., Lekkas D., Alexopoulos N.
Topic:
Recycling of materials to new products
In the present investigation, the degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in marine environments, under ultraviolet (UV) radiation and saltwater conditions, was examined. HDPE debris were collected from the coastal areas nearby Korinthos, encompassing a wide range of exposure durations,...Read more
Biogas Desulfurization by Pelletized Biomass Ash in a Fixed Bed Arrangement
(Corresponding) Lapp F., Brück F., Liebich T., Lang M., Theilen U., Weigand H.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
The removal of H2S is a prerequisite to the energetic valorization of biogas in combined heat and power (CHP) plants. Conventionally, the final step in desul-furization involves filtration over granular activated carbon (GAC). Rising market prices for GAC have fostered research on alternative...Read more
Treatment of two-phase olive mill waste and degradation of phenolic compounds with simultaneous bio-electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CH4 using a Microbial Electrolysis Cell
Kanellos G., Monokrousou E., (Corresponding) Tremouli A., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
This study deals with the treatment of a potent two-phase olive mill waste (TPOMW) through the degradation of its phenolic content, with simultaneous bio-electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CH4, using a dual-chamber Microbial Electrolysis Cell (MEC). The MEC operated for 120 days and the effects of...Read more
Wetting study of PVDF - carbon nanodiscs membranes for water treatment applications via membrane distillation
(Corresponding) Tournis I., Panagiotaki K., Sideratou Z., Kouvelos E., (Corresponding) Sapalidis A.
Topic:
Water treatment
Since 80’s, membrane distillation has been identified as a promising water treatment process in various wastewater treatments, such as desalination brine, textile, radioactive and oily wastewater.[1] The demand for membranes with stable flux and prolonged lifespan especially in challenging...Read more
Lateral and vertical variations of pharmaceutical contaminants in natural aquatic systems
(Corresponding) Mariano S., Singh R., Angeles L., Aga D., Jaraula C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The detection of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in environmental matrices raised concerns over their short- and long-term effects on the ecosystem. Wastewater is the primary carrier of PPCPs to the environment in highly urbanized regions. In the Philippines, Manila Bay serves as...Read more
How science-society interactions design post-mining territories: transdisciplinary patterns in Cevennes, France
(Corresponding) Bonincontro T., Cerceau J., Tena-Chollet F., Becerra S.
Topic:
The impact of citizen science on environmental attitudes, behaviour and knowledge
Abstract In line with the European Union's guidelines, the context of a mining resurgence in metropolitan France plans the prospective opening or reopening of mines. In this general context, the politicization of the post-mining subsurface is sparked by this mining industry rebirth, linked to...Read more
Understanding of consumers' water consumption preferences and environmental consciousness
Theodoridou G., Avramidou P., Kassianidis P., Partalidou M., (Corresponding) Samaras P.
Topic:
The impact of citizen science on environmental attitudes, behaviour and knowledge
Water is arguably nowadays one of the most important commodities of increasing socio-economic and political value. Several studies have investigated the factors influencing consumers' perception of water quality and water service quality and conclude that are influenced by a constellation of...Read more
