Biowaste management is at the center of attention in recent years due to increased focus on Circular Economy practices. Lesvos has numerous food processing facilities and olive mills, therefore Olive Mill Wastewater (OMWW) a wastewater stream that requires attention. In this study, holistic experimental set-up combines aerobic anaerobic treatment strategies was developed taking into considerati...

Abstract Olive mill wastewater is one of the environmental problems in semiarid regions. The main goals this study were to investigate impacts different olive levels on durum wheat ( Triticum aestivum var. Douma1) production and soil microbial activities (i.e., bacteria fungi). A pot experiment was conducted during growing seasons 2015/2017 evaluate effect three both growth productivity attribu...

In this study, the combustion of olive byproducts was investigated using TG-FTIR technique. Different types biomass were considered: twigs, leaves, olive-mill waste from two-phase decanting method, and wastewater three-phase system. The reaction regions, ignition, burnout temperatures at different heating rates determined TG/DTG analysis thermogravimetry results. Comprehensive combustion, burno...

Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW) is phytotoxic and all attempts to treat it are expensive and therefore alternative less expensive techniques should be developed to reduce its phytotoxicity. The objective of this study is to determine whether the dilution of OMW with water improves its suitability for soil application and enhances plant growth without polluting the environment. The following treatme...

Olive Mill Wastewater (OMWW) treatment is considered to be one of the main challenges that Mediterranean countries face. Although several procedures and technologies are mentioned in the literature, these techniques have several disadvantages or have been limited to laboratory pilot validation without posterior industrial projection. Recently, an advanced environmental friendly strategy for the...
