Dispersion modeling of odours emitted from pig farms: winter-spring measurements

by

Latos M., Karageorgos P., Mpasiakos Ch., Kalogerakis N. and Lazaridis M.

General

One of the main environmental impacts of pig farms are the swine odours emitted from the various stages of the process. The main cause of odour emissions from pig farms are the anaerobic processes in manure. Numerous factors affect odour emissions such as diet, manure management and manure age. The...

Application of qualitative analysis techniques to the environmental modeling of plant species cultivation

by

Kalavrouziotis I.K., Visiskirsky V., Stepashko V. and Koukoulakis P.

General

The main issue discussed in the paper is the application of qualitative analysis techniques when short data samples are available at the initial stage of experiments carried out to study behaviors of agricultural plant species under different environmental conditions. The proposed techniques are...

Size distribution and chemical composition of airborne particles at Akrotiri Research Station, Crete, Greece

by

Kopanakis I., Lydakis – Simantiris N., Katsivela E., Pentari D., Zarmpas P., Mihalopoulos N. ... View all

General

Particulate matter measurements were performed at the Akrotiri research station on the island of Crete (Greece) using an 8-stages Andersen non-viable impactor. The main purpose of the current work was to measure the ambient levels of PM10 particulate matter as well as the concentrations of metals...

Gasification of grapevine pruning waste in an entrained-flow reactor: gas products, energy efficiency and gas conditioning alternatives

by

Hernandez J.J., Aranda G., San Miguel G. and Bula A.

General

Owing to its higher efficiency and versatility, gasification is seen as a necessary evolution in the development of biomass energy systems. This technology has been primarily tested in fixed bed (updraft and downdraft) and fluidised bed reaction systems, with less information available about the...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in fine and coarse particles

by

Evangelopoulos V., Albanis T.A., Asvesta A. and Zoras S.

General

About 140 samplings of fine and coarse particles were gathered during the year 2006 in Kozani that represent an urban area surrounded by opencast coal mining. A low volume dichotomus sampler has been used to trap suspended particles. The filters used were teflon, which are ideal for analysis in the...

Copper, nickel and zinc removal by peanut hulls: batch and column studies in mono, tri-component systems and with real effluent

by

Oliveira F.D. , Soares A.C., Freitas O.M. and Figueiredo S.A.

General

The main goal of this research study was the removal of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) from aqueous solutions using peanut hulls. This work was mainly focused on the following aspects: chemical characterization of the biosorbent, kinetic studies, study of the pH influence in mono-component systems...
