Monitoring of the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus and symptoms associated with yellows diseases in vineyards in the Viticulture Region of Moldova, Romania
(Corresponding) Chireceanu C., Mihu G., Teodoru A., Puscalau M.
Topic:
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
Monitoring action is a key component of integrated pest management programs that aims to obtain valuable early data regarding the pests and their crop damages. By this, it is possible to select and apply the most appropriate strategies for pest control before reaching to economical threshold. The...Read more
Application of two different strategies for the simultaneous disinfection and decontamination of urban wastewater using solar photo-Fenton and solar/H2O2 processes
Maniakova G., Salmeron I., Polo-López M., Oller I., (Corresponding) Rizzo L., (Corresponding) Malato S.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
Simultaneous removal of contaminants of emerging concern and bacteria inactivation in simulated urban wastewater treatment plant effluent (SUWWE) through solar Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) namely solar photo-Fenton (SPF) with Ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinic acid (EDDS) (H2O2=50 mg/L, Fe(...Read more

Modelling the Evaporation Flux from Shallow Sandy Aquifers
(Corresponding) Al-Suwaiyan M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
A mathematical model based on Richard’s equation and the soil hydraulic properties was developed in order to understand the influence of the soil depth to the water table on the maximum potential evaporative flux through the unsaturated zone. The model was applied on shallow aquifers using...Read more
Regeneration of dissolved Fe(II) from Fenton sludge at a microbial fuel cell using a novel biocathode
(Corresponding) Wang G., Tang K., Jiang Y., Andersen H., Zhang Y.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Fenton reactions are widely applied for degrading recalcitrant pollutants, but the resulting ferric sludge remains a challenge. A novel concept for regenerating Fe(II) solution at pH 6 from ferric sludge generated in neutral Fenton is proposed. A microbial fuel cell (MFC) with biocathode and...Read more
Interannual large-scale variability in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and interactions with the Aegean Sea
(Corresponding) Velaoras D.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
The Mediterranean Sea and its eastern sub-basin are marginal oceanic basins subjected to strong anthropogenic and natural pressures. During the last decades new findings have revised the way of assessing the circulation and physical functioning of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Natural oscillations...Read more
SIMULATION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF OWC DEVICE OPERATING IN COASTAL REGIONS
(Corresponding) Belibassakis K., Magkouris A., Rusu E.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Wave energy converters are constantly being deployed in nearshore and coastal areas characterized by increased wave potential. The performance of the devices
installed in the nearshore and coastal environment, where the sea bottom terrain may present significant variations, can be evaluated by...Read more
On the Fenton oxidation of polystyrene microplastics
(Corresponding) Munoz M., Ortiz D., Nieto-Sandoval J., Romera-Castillo C., de Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
This work aims at evaluating the fate of polystyrene (PS) microplastics along Fenton oxidation. Experiments were carried out under relatively severe operating conditions (80 ºC) given the high persistence of these solids to oxidation. Slight mass losses (up to 10%) were found after the Fenton...Read more

Continuous flow hydrodechlorination for micropollutants removal using an innovative Pd-based Catalytic Membrane Reactor
(Corresponding) Nieto-Sandoval J., Gomez-Herrero E., Munoz M., de Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Water treatment
The aim of this work is to develop a Pd-based Catalytic Membrane Reactor (Pd/CMR) for its application in organochlorinated micropollutants removal by hydrodechlorination (HDC). The external surface of a Al2O3 membrane was homogeneously decorated by Pd nanoparticles (0.2% wt.). The Pd/CMR developed...Read more
Application of catalytic hydrodehalogenation for the removal of brominated flame retardants
Nieto-Sandoval J., (Corresponding) Benito del Olmo R., Munoz M., De Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Water treatment
The aim of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of aqueous-phase catalytic hydrodehalogenation (HDH) for the fast and environmentally-friendly degradation of the flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). TBBPA is a pollutant of emerging concern characterized by a strong persistence that...Read more
Magnetite-decorated catalytic membrane reactor for the continuous-flow CWPO of micropollutants
(Corresponding) López-Aragó N., Nieto-Sandoval J., Munoz M., de Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work aims at developing a contactor type Catalytic Membrane Reactor (CMR) for its application in the continuous removal of micropollutants by Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation (CWPO). For such goal, a porous alumina membrane tube was homogeneously decorated with magnetite nanoparticles...Read more
