The Role of ERP Systems in Supporting the Transition to a Circular Economy
(Corresponding) Radić A., Arsić S., Plotnic O., Milošević I.
Topic:
2.1 Circular product design: design out waste
The introduction of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is becoming crucial in facilitating the transition to a circular economy. These systems enable the integration and optimization of business processes, leading to more efficient resource management. The circular economy focuses on...Read more
A Small Overview of the current, Natural & Affected Environments by Microplastics
(Corresponding) Mafina K., Robertson I.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
There is a growing concern and increasing evidence that microplastics in the World’s rivers and oceans are having an affect on marine environments; and ultimately into the food chain. Infrared Spectroscopy and Microscopy are well- established analytical techniques for defining, identifying and...Read more
Investigative Study on the Effectivity of Plant-Based Coagulants for the Siltation Pond of an Aggregate Crushing Plant in Southern Luzon, Philippines
Angus F., (Corresponding) Clemente E., Ballesteros Jr. F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Water quality and treatment are becoming of increasing concern. It is important to develop renewable bio-coagulants to treat turbid water. This study suggests plant-based coagulants as substitute for chemical coagulants. The plants used were Moringa oleifera (MO), Carica papaya (CP) seeds, and...Read more
Cornus Sanguinea Leaves Alcoholic Extract As Corrosion Inhibitor For Carbon Steel In Acidic Solutions
Xhanari K., (Corresponding) Farruku M., Xhaxhiu K., Kokalari E.
Topic:
Sustainable supply of raw materials
In recent years finding environmentally friendly and affordable sources to mitigate corrosion has become demanding in many industries due to the increased awareness related to environmental issues. Due to their readily availability, biodegradability, low toxicity and relatively low cost, plant...Read more
Analysing the indicators and the associated recommendations of household emission calculators
(Corresponding) Alexopoulos C., Karelis C., Keramidis P., Orfanou A., Lekkas D., Charalabidis Y.
Topic:
The impact of citizen science on environmental attitudes, behaviour and knowledge
Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are some of the most noted topics of the last years. Carbon footprint calculators provide an interesting solution when it comes to informing people about the above topic. These calculators try to estimate the carbon footprint, the total amount of...Read more
Heavy metal assessment in vineyard sludge. Copper lixiviation and recovery studies.
(Corresponding) YOHAI L., GARRIDO MOLINA C., RESINA GALLEGO M., LÓPEZ MESAS M., VALIENTE M.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The use of copper-based compounds to prevent fungi diseases in vineyards have contributed to heavy metal accumulation in soil, vegetation and waste, causing a serious environmental and agro-industrial problem. One main issue is the waste generated both during and after wine production. This waste...Read more
RESEARCH ON THE POSSIBILITIES OF EVALUATION AND RECOVERY OF SLUDGE FROM SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Cernica G., (Corresponding) Constantın A., (Corresponding) Dumitrescu I., (Corresponding) Codreanu A.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The characterization and recovery of sludge from sewage treatment plants involves understanding its composition and implementing strategies to extract valuable resources from this byproduct. Sludge characterization helps identify its properties, including organic and inorganic content, contaminants...Read more
Transforming wild rabbits’ overpopulation problem into a local biotic resource of Lemnos island
Vasios G., (Corresponding) Gialeli M., Zaragkali F., Roumelioti A., Tsiota G., Koufos G., Tapazidou P., Kakaroglou I., Antoniadis I., Troumbis A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
For more than 20 years, the European Wild Rabbit (WR) (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) is considered a pest in Lemnos island, Greece, due to significant crop damage. Authorities took insufficient actions to control WR overpopulation, resulting only in managing its effect on crop losses with farmers’...Read more
Keywords:
Oryctolagus cuniculus, Lemnos, sustainable development, hunting, local gastronomy
Sensitive method for the simultaneous detection of ten azole contaminants in water samples by SPE-LC-MS/MS
Iancu V., (Corresponding) Tenea A., Chiriac F., Pirvu F., Serban G., Cojocaru V., Vasile G.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
A new analytical method was developed for the determination of azole contaminants from environmental samples (surface water, drinking water, wastewater) by solid phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) quantification. The separation of the compounds...Read more
Anaerobic Co-Digestion of olive oil wastewater with municipal solid and liquid waste: An Urban-Industrial symbiosis concept
(Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Pavlopoulos C., Zarkaliou A., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The aim of this research was to explore the possibility for joint waste management from industry and municipality (Industrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US)) through material and energy exchanges between municipality and industry and to improve the efficiency and environmental performance of biofuel...Read more
