Anaerobic ammonium nitrogen oxidation and sulphate reduction in psychrophilic conditions
Przywara L.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Investigations of simultaneous removal of ammonium and sulphate were carried out in anaerobic laboratory bioreactor - upflow anaerobic filter (UAF). The bioreactor was filled with the anaerobic activated sludge from WWTP Bielsko – Biała. The process was operated in psychrophilic conditions...Read more

Design-based and model-based estimations of distribution and abundance of dolphin populations in Gulf of Corinth, Hellas
(Corresponding) Karamitros G., Giantsis I., Martsikalis P., Kavouras M., Exadactylos A.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In recent years a major scientific effort has been focused on the protection of marine mammals. Gulf of Corinth is part of the Natura 2000 network (GR2530007) since 2016, with Special Areas of Conservation and constitutes an important habitat for striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba), bottlenose...Read more

Odorous gases monitoring on industrial sites and algae decomposition using Cairsens smart sensors
(Corresponding) BEN DAOUD A., Laplagne J., AKIKI R., AFLALO S. S.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
The appearance of natural odors sources (Sargassum beaching events) or odors generated by the human activity (integration of industrial sites in increasing urban environment and residential encroachment into previously non-resident areas) represent a major challenge for municipalities. Combined...Read more
Water reuse integration in the holistic water cycle
(Corresponding) Adin A.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Wastewater reclamation and reuse (WRR) is an emerging water generation tool for combating water stress. The objective of this paper is to develop a conceptual approach which will pave the way to WRR sustainable integration in a multi-resources regional or local system. For that purpose, a holistic...Read more

Structuring efficient photocatalysts into bespoke fiber shaped systems for applied water treatment
(Corresponding) Theodorakopoulos G., Romanos G., Katsaros F., Papageorgiou S., Falaras P., Kontos A., Beazi-Katsioti M.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
In this study structured photocatalytic systems were successfully developed by a facile method. Polymeric (Alginate) molds, settled the basis in order to effectively disperse and stabilize nanoparticles of an efficient, copper augmented photocatalyst (Degussa P25), which after removal of the...Read more

Kinetics study of the MO adsorption and photocatalytic degradation using an effectively engineered HF photocatalyst
(Corresponding) Theodorakopoulos G., Katsaros F., Papageorgiou S., Romanos G.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this study, copper decorated photocatalysts (Degussa P25), were shaped in the form of ceramic hollow fibers (HFs) and their photocatalytic properties were investigated using Methyl Orange (MO), a prototype anionic pollutant. The abatement of the dye was tested in dark and under UV irradiation by...Read more

Biodegradation of pharmaceuticals by bacteria isolated from estuarine environment - cleanup technologies through nature based processes
(Corresponding) Fernandes J., Duarte P., Almeida C., Carvalho M., Mucha A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
New sustainable technologies are needed to tackle pharmaceuticals contamination in different environmental compartments. Bioremediation technology, using native microorganisms with capacity for partial or complete elimination of contaminants, can be considered. This work investigated the capability...Read more

Study of water quality in a recirculating aquaculture system for environmental sustainability and fish welfare
(Corresponding) Almeida D., Magalhães C., Silva E., Blanquet I., Mucha A.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are a promising technology of fish production to reduce aquaculture environmental impact. Water recirculation relies on the stability of physical, chemical and biological processes to increase biosecurity. Although, disruptions in RAS systems can cause fish...Read more
The cultivation of Penicillium strain, isolated from rotten vegetables, on potatoe dextrose broth (PDB) medium enriched in arginine and mineral elements, allowed to obtain a yield of 31.7 mg/g of dry biomass and 9 mg/g of dry biomass into chitin and natural chitosan, respectively. The infrared...Read more
