Effective separation of waste printed circuit boards using microwave-assisted organic swelling.

Monteiro B., Martelo L., Sousa P., Bastos M., (Corresponding) Soares H.

Topic:

Electric and electronic waste

Nowadays, our lifestyle demands more electronics products, and this rapid development generated an increase in the amount of electronic waste (e-waste). Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) are components in all electronic devices and responsible for a high percentage of the total weight of the...Read more

Effect of current density value and current application period on the wastewater treatment performance of Electrochemically Enhanced Self-Forming Dynamic Membrane Bioreactors (e-SFDMBRs)

(Corresponding) Almalvez J., Morales-Corpuz M., Borea L., Castrogiovanni F., Napodano P., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V., Ballesteros F.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

The use of membrane reactor in wastewater treatment gained interest for the past years due to its high-quality effluent. However, expensive membranes and high operational costs due to membrane fouling limit the wide application of this process. Research on fouling control by combining membrane use...Read more

Livestock Greenhouse Gases emissions and its contribution to Climate Change. The case study of a Cyprus cow farm

LOIZIA P., (Corresponding) VOUKKALI I., ZORPAS A.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Human population is expected to increase from 7.8 to 9.4 billion by 2050. At the same time the demand for agricultural products will increase by about 50-70%. As a result, there is a growing awareness that rapid growth in global production and consumption of livestock products is contributing to...Read more

PlomBOX - development of a low-cost CMOS device for environmental monitoring

Aguilar-Arevalo A., Alba Posse E., Alvarez M., Arnaldi H., Asorey H., Bertou X., Colque Α., Deisting A., (Corresponding) Dias A., D'Olivo J., Favela-Pérez F., Gándola Y., Garcés E., Gasulla J., Gómez Berisso M., González Muñoz A., Guerra-Pulido J., Gutierrez S., Jois S., Lipovetzky J., Lovera J., Lovino M., Marín-Lámbarri D., Marpegan L., Martín D., Martinez Montero M., Mejía Muñoz S., Monroe J., Nadra A., Paling S., Pregliasco R., Rumi G., Rossen A., Santos J., Scovell P., Tallis M., Teijeiro A., Triana M., Vázquez-Jáuregui E.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

This paper reports on the development of a novel CMOS device employing lead-sensing bacteria to assay lead in drinking water. The objective of the PlomBOX project is to develop a low-cost sensor (£10) which can expedite access to on-demand assay methods and thus help mitigate lead intake through...Read more

Green organizational culture – its essence, elements and methods of diagnosis

(Corresponding) Piwowar-Sulej K.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

The analysis of papers indexed in Scopus database revealed that insufficient attention is paid to organizational culture treated as one of the crucial factors in shaping employees’ appropriate behaviors towards natural environment. Taking this into account the purpose of this paper is to present...Read more

Green Jobs in multinational companies - an initial network and content analysis

(Corresponding) Piwowar-Sulej K., Ferasso M., Sulich A.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

Several current research studies on green jobs focus mostly on rural areas and analyze this problem in the context of Circular Economy or specific industries. However, the context of multinational companies is still uncovered. This study aims at mapping the field by relating the Green Jobs in...Read more

Municipal solid waste management in island communities: existing experience and implementation possibilities for South Aegean Islands

Xanthopoulos P., (Corresponding) Papapostolou C., Kondili E., Stylianopoulou K.

Topic:

Solid waste management

Solid waste management in island communities is triggered by the limitation in the availability of resources, which in combination to the small amounts of wastes produced, renders the selection and sizing of the appropriate methods and infrastructures very challenging. Certain complexity to the...Read more

Are emerging contaminants affecting drinking water microbial biofilms?

(Corresponding) Gomes I., Pinto I., Arruda V., Simões L., (Corresponding) Simões M.

Topic:

Drinking water safety

The presence of biofilms in drinking water (DW) distribution systems is unavoidable as well as the presence of trace levels of different emerging contaminants (ECs). ECs constitute a potential risk for the “One Health” trilogy. In particular, the presence of antibiotics in the environment has been...Read more
