Aqueous wastewater treatment with aluminum oxide, silica, and alginite
Bankole A., (Corresponding) Thiemann T.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The adsorption of different types of dyes and stains over inorganic adsorbent materials such as silica, and aluminum oxide (basic and acidic) as well as over a mineral with an organic component, alginite, has been studied, with the idea of treatment of remnant dye solutions and solution wastes from...Read more
ENERGY TRANSITION IN WEST MACEDONIA. WHAT IS THE PUBLIC ATTITUDE OF THE LOCAL SOCIETY?
Boulogiorgou D., Kondili E., Triantafyllou A., (Corresponding) Kaldellis J.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
In view of the EU decarbonization policy implementation, the Greek government has recently decided the permanent retirement of lignite based thermal power stations (TPS) of West Macedonia, being in operation since the 70’s. For the last fifty years, the Public Power Corporation has undertaken the...Read more

Water Losses Assessments to support decision making in WSS management
(Corresponding) Pietrucha-Urbanik K., Tchórzewska-Cieślak B.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
In order to reduce costs related to water supply service, modernization measures should be carried out to water losses. The paper presents an analysis and assessment of water losses carried out based on data provided by a water utility company. The basic indicators of water loss according to the...Read more

Fostering the non-conventional water re-use in agriculture in Mediterranean countries: the MENAWARA project
(Corresponding) Carletti A., Paulotto A., Khadra R., Martin I., Fahd K., Salas J., Arbasi T., Pedron G., Jaouadi T., Chaabouni T., Mazahrih N.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
The Mediterranean region is considered as one of the world’s most water-stressed areas where some countries have less than 1000 m3 capita-1 year-1. This situation, exacerbated by climate change, is due to, but not restricted to, the relatively uneven distribution of precipitation, high temperatures...Read more

Exploring the Living Lab approach for developing sustainable wastewater treatment and reuse systems in Mediterranean agriculture
(Corresponding) Khadra R., Dragonetti G., Paulotto A., Martin I., Arbasi T., Jaouadi T., Mazahreh N., Balawneh A., Carletti A.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
In the water-poor Mediterranean region, people have always had to cope with scarcity, developing adaptation strategies to meet their essential needs. However, the adaptation capacities in place are put to the test by climate change, unsustainable water use and wastage, contributing to the depletion...Read more

Floating wetlands as Nature-based Solutions for marine water pollution control in Mediterranean: Challenges and future perspectives
(Corresponding) Takavakoglou V., Pana E., Plakas K.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
Mediterranean Sea is widely regarded as one of the most threatened environments in the world because of the high population densities, the lack of consistent waste-management schemes, the large influxes of tourists and the strategic merchant navigation. The growing environmental awareness of...Read more

Zovko Končić M., Jug M., Dalipi R., Sangiorgi E., Margui E., (Corresponding) Jablan J.
Topic:
Green chemistry
Users of cosmetics in particular show a strong preference for products derived from plant extracts and other natural sources, as they consider them to be environmentally friendly, safe, and capable of positively affecting the health and appearance of human skin. The present study aims to analyze...Read more
DETERMINATION OF GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSIONS FROM PMDI PRODUCTS IN GREECE
(Corresponding) Glytsos T., Mammi-Galani E., Chalvatzaki E., Korkontzelou A., Letsios V., Alexandrakis S., Lazaridis M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The focus of the current study is on the estimation of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers (pMDIs) products in Greece. The emissions are expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). The total emissions of the pMDIs were estimated at 47.53 kt CO2eq and they...Read more

Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
During the last 4 years Palestinian Wastewater Engineers Group (PWEG) has succeeded in implementing a comprehensive low cost and low tech. decentralized wastewater management and reuse scheme in Marj Al Ghazal village in the arid Jordan Valley (JV) improving the access to non-conventional water...Read more
Development and validation of a novel analytical protocol for the simultaneous determination of organic micropollutants in biota specimens by GC-APCI-QToF MS.
Orfanioti A., Gkotsis G., Nika M., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
During the last decades, overwhelming evidence has shown that various xenobiotic compounds have been released into the environment, due to anthropogenic activities. The term “Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)” has been established for organic chemicals that are resistant to degradation,...Read more
