Biotreatment and bacterial succession in an upflow immobilized cell bioreactor fed with fludioxonil wastewater

Mavriou Z., Alexandropoulou I., Melidis P., Karpouzas D.G., Ntougias S. (2021)

The large quantities and the persistent nature of fungicide wastewaters have increased the efforts towards a sustainable technological solution. In this context, fludioxonil-contaminated wastewater was treated in an upflow ...

Ecotoxicological properties of wastewater treated using tertiary methods

Petala, M.; Samaras, P.; Zouboulis, A.; Kungolos, A.; Sakellaropoulos, G. (2006)

The objective of this work was the examination of the efficiency of coagulation and ozonation processes for the production of reclaimed wastewater with low toxicity. Municipal secondary effluents were treated by FeCl 3, ...

The effect of coagulation on the toxicity and mutagenicity of reclaimed municipal effluents

Petala, M.; Samaras, P.; Kungolos, A.; Zouboulis, A.; Papadopoulos, A.; Sakellaropoulos, G. P. (2006)

The objectives of this work were the assessment of the effectiveness of coagulation on the reclamation of secondary effluents and the evaluation of the quality of reclaimed waters by the examination of their ecotoxic and ...

Expanding the use of biobeds: Degradation and adsorption of pesticides contained in effluents from seed-coating, bulb disinfestation and fruit-packaging activities

Papazlatani C.V., Karas P.A., Tucat G., Karpouzas D.G. (2019)

Agro-food industries that use pesticides constitute significant point sources for the contamination of natural water resources. Despite that, little is known about the treatment of their pesticide-contaminated effluents. ...

Integrated biodepuration of pesticide-contaminated wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry using biobeds: Bioaugmentation, risk assessment and optimized management

Karas P.A., Perruchon C., Karanasios E., Papadopoulou E.S., Manthou E., Sitra S., Ehaliotis C., Karpouzas D.G. (2016)

Wastewaters from fruit-packaging plants contain high loads of toxic and persistent pesticides and should be treated on site. We evaluated the depuration performance of five pilot biobeds against those effluents. In addition ...

Isolation, characterization and industrial application of a Cladosporium herbarum fungal strain able to degrade the fungicide imazalil

Papazlatani C.V., Kolovou M., Gkounou E.E., Azis K., Mavriou Z., Testembasis S., Karaoglanidis G.S., Ntougias S., Karpouzas D.G. (2022)

Imazalil (IMZ) is an imidazole fungicide commonly used by fruit-packaging plants (FPPs) to control fungal infections during storage. Its application leads to the production of pesticide-contaminated wastewaters, which, ...

Land spreading of wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry and potential effects on soil microbes: Effects of the antioxidant ethoxyquin and its metabolites on ammonia oxidizers

Papadopoulou E.S., Tsachidou B., Sulowicz S., Menkissoglu-Spiroudi U., Karpouzas D.G. (2016)

Thiabendazole (TBZ), imazalil (IMZ), ortho-phenylphenol (OPP), diphenylamine (DPA), and ethoxyquin (EQ) are used in fruitpackaging plants (FPP) with the stipulation that wastewaters produced by their application would be ...

The potential of organic substrates based on mushroom substrate and straw to dissipate fungicides contained in effluents from the fruit-packaging industry - Is there a role for Pleurotus ostreatus?

Karas P.A., Makri S., Papadopoulou E.S., Ehaliotis C., Menkissoglu-Spiroudi U., Karpouzas D.G. (2016)

Citrus fruit-packaging plants (FPP) produce large wastewater volumes with high loads of fungicides like ortho-phenylphenol (OPP) and imazalil (IMZ). No methods are in place for the treatment of those effluents and biobeds ...

Responses of the Mediterranean seagrass Cymodocea nodosa to combined temperature and salinity stress at the ionomic, transcriptomic, ultrastructural and photosynthetic levels
