LED light tailoring in a planar photobioreactor for optimization of microalgae growth.
(Corresponding) Riggio V., Occhipinti A., Grinic D., Zanetti M.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microalgae are well known for their potential in producing valuable substances for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as a source of biofuel. Currently, the use of the photosynthetic capacity of microalgae is a new alternative for carbon dioxide bio-fixation. Therefore, the...Read more

Microalgae bio-fixation efficiency of carbon dioxide through innovative planar photobioreactor
Costantino V., Carone M., (Corresponding) Riggio V., (Corresponding) Derossi C., Alpe D., Occhipinti A., Zanetti M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The high anthropogenic activity of recent centuries has led to an urgent need to improve CO2 capture and sequestration technologies. In this context, microalgae systems have gained importance, thanks to their high photosynthetic efficiency and the many applications to which they can be destined...Read more

MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION OF TWO-PHASE OLIVE-OIL WASHING WASTEWATER PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS RECOVERY AND TREATMENT BY NOVEL WEAK-BASE ION EXCHANGE RESINS
(Corresponding) Ochando J., Anotnio M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In the present work, the concentration and recovery of high-added value phenolic compounds from two-phase olive mill wastewater (OMW) and the simultaneous effluent treatment by a ‘green process’ based on resins adsorption/ion exchange was studied. Olive oil is produced by a technological procedure...Read more

Systems improvement and energy savings program for the existing conventional extended aerobic treatment of domestic wastewater in compliance of DAO 2016-08 new general effluent regulations
Maceda M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This is a system improvement and energy savings program for a Sewage Treatment Plant treating wastewater coming from a shopping mall operation. Wastewater from shopping mall is considered domestic wastewater, which needs a big volume of water, and produced big amount of wastewater. Generators of...Read more

Comparison of sensory odour intensity scales for inexperienced assessors
(Corresponding) Higuchi T., Sekine M., Imai T.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odours discharged from various human activities may cause severe damage to local residents. For appropriate evaluation of environmental odours, it is necessary to develop a reliable odour measurement scale. Since environmental odours consist of many different odorous compounds, comprehensive...Read more

Durability of cement mortars and concretes exposed to biological attack as one of the sustainability parameter – a correlation analysis
(Corresponding) Ondrejka Harbulakova V., Estokova A., Smolakova M., Luptakova A.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Among the pillars of the sustainability, the aspect of prolongation of life of constructions has to be involved. Focus on sustainability of construction leads to study of durability of building materials. Phenomenon called biocorrosion, existing mainly in concrete sewer systems, agricultural...Read more
Preliminary Research on Removal of Organic Substances Contained in Wastewater from Plastic Lenses Production
(Corresponding) Umiejewska K., Różycki M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
More than 80 percent of all eyeglasses worn today have plastic lenses. Plastic lenses made of polycarbonate discs are created through the process of machining which requires the use of a coolant. During the production process, the rotating disc and blade are poured with a mixture of water and...Read more
Fortified settlements between Ambracian gulf and Acherontas river in Preveza
(Corresponding) Saltagianni E., Kastaounou S., Gousis C.
Topic:
Environmental impacts of tourism and sustainable tourism development
The prefecture of Preveza is an area that has been an ideal place to live because there are the fields (are necessary for cultivation), the mountains (important for safe landscape), the rivers (are necessary for drinking water and watering the fields) and the sea (for trade and fishing). Such a...Read more
