• Adapting the use of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in large-scale water treatment facilities 

      Simeonidis, K.; Andritsos, N.; Kaprara, E.; Mourdikoudis, S.; Mitrakas, M. (2014)
      Magnetite nanoparticles were produced by the chemical co-precipitation of iron sulfates at alkaline conditions and were tested as a Cr(VI) adsorbent from water. Batch adsorption experiments showed a high removal efficiency, ...
    • Cu-Zn powders as potential Cr(VI) adsorbents for drinking water 

      Kaprara, E.; Seridou, P.; Tsiamili, V.; Mitrakas, M.; Vourlias, G.; Tsiaoussis, I.; Kaimakamis, G.; Pavlidou, E.; Andritsos, N.; Simeonidis, K. (2013)
      This work examines the possibility of applying CuZn alloys as a reducing medium for the efficient removal of hexavalent chromium from drinking water. In an effort to develop a route for producing powders of CuZn alloys ...
    • Occurrence of Cr(VI) in drinking water of Greece and relation to the geological background 

      Kaprara, E.; Kazakis, N.; Simeonidis, K.; Coles, S.; Zouboulis, A. I.; Samaras, P.; Mitrakas, M. (2015)
      This study provides a survey on potential Cr(VI) exposure attributed to drinking water in Greece. For this reason, a wide sampling and chemical analysis of tap waters from around 600 sites, supplied by groundwater resources, ...
    • Optimizing magnetic nanoparticles for drinking water technology: The case of Cr(VI) 

      Simeonidis, K.; Kaprara, E.; Samaras, T.; Angelakeris, M.; Pliatsikas, N.; Vourlias, G.; Mitrakas, M.; Andritsos, N. (2015)
      The potential of magnetite nanoparticles to be applied in drinking water treatment for the removal of hexavalent chromium is discussed. In this study, a method for their preparation which combines the use of low-cost iron ...
