Dioxin-Like Polychlorinated Biphenyls at Dilijan Landfills (Republic of Armenia)
(Corresponding) Aleksandryan A., KHACHATRYAN A., Bunyatyan Y.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are substances of wide distribution, high toxicity, persistence, and ability to long-distance migration. They are characterized by unique properties: temperature stability; high boiling point; non-combustibility; resistance to chemical and physical influences; high...Read more
Increasing the recovery of automobile shredder residue (ASR) through assimilation to a solid recovered fuel (SRF): the results of a feasibility study
(Corresponding) Ruffino B., Minardi M., Guglielmino M., Bonino F., Zanetti M.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
This study analyzes the possibility of assimilating some fractions extracted from the shredder light fraction (SLF) to a solid recovered fuel (SRF). Italian Ministerial Decree D.M. 22/2013 fixes the criteria for the assimilation in the compliance of three parameters (heating value and chlorine and...Read more

Modeling the spatial evolution of nitrogen pollution in groundwater and the amount of nitrogen leached under potato crops in the Khemis Miliana Plain
(Corresponding) Richa A., Douaoui A., Djezzar M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The maximum concentration of nitrates in drinking water admitted by the World Health Organization is 50 mg nitrate per liter of water. Europe recommends a standard content of 25 mg NO3- / l according to the interdisciplinary research program on the environment (2009).
The present work quantifies...Read more
Origin of the salinity in the groundwater of the El Attaf alluvial aquifer
(Corresponding) Richa A., Djezzar M., DOUAOUI A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The choice of this research theme was guided by the desire to better understand environmental issues, namely salinity and its origin, through the use of geophysical data from various surveys carried out between 1969 (CGG) and 2002 (IFES), to highlight the impact of the geological and structural...Read more

Life cycle assessment of various combustion-based electricity generation technologies with carbon capture and storage: A review
Wang Y., Pan Z., Li R., (Corresponding) Zhang Z.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
With the continuous advancement of the industrialization process, climate change continues to intensify. Traditional electricity production consumes a lot of energy and fuel and is accompanied by huge amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Although the rapid development of renewable energy...Read more

CO2 absorption into 4-diethylamino-2-butanol solution in a membrane contactor under wetting or non-wetting conditions
Li L., Pan Z., Baena-Moreno F., Borhani T., (Corresponding) Zhang Z.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Natural gas produces a large amount of carbon emissions in the process of mining and processing, on the one hand from the energy use of processing facilities, on the other hand from the way that natural gas is extracted. The adoption of appropriate carbon capture technology is of urgency. The...Read more
Daily wind gusts in relation to mean daily wind speed and atmospheric circulation
(Corresponding) DELIGIORGI D., PHILIPPOPOULOS K., GRANAKIS K.
Topic:
Atmospheric chemistry and physics
An important aspect in the design of wind farms and consequently in wind power production, is the sensitivity of wind turbines to wind gusts. This study aims at estimating the probability of occurrence of daily wind gusts for different atmospheric circulation regimes. The analysis is performed for...Read more
Statistical modeling of meteorological conditions and air pollution over Athens, Greece
(Corresponding) DELIGIORGI D., PHILIPPOPOULOS K., DIAMANTI A.
Topic:
Air pollution
The importance of meteorological parameters and topography in determining the air pollution levels in a specific area is well established. The aim of this study is to model the association between air pollution levels and meteorological parameters for a single site in Athens, Greece. The...Read more

Fuel performance of biodiesel produced from transesterification of microalgae was evaluated to assess its potential as alternative fuel in diesel engine. The biodiesel was produced from transesterification of microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris using K-pumice as catalyst. The engine used in the study was...Read more
Emissions of volatile organic compounds from flex printing facility
(Corresponding) Savic B., Tanovic P., Janjic N.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
The present study was undertaken to investigate, the level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in working zone of flex printing facility in Novi Sad, Serbia. The levels of VOCs were determined at four sampling position: at the machine; at a distance of 3 m from the machine; at the outlet of...Read more
