4th European Bioremediation Conference

Chania, Greece (September 03-06, 2008)

The objective of the conference is to bring together scientists, engineers and other environmental professionals to present their findings and discuss future trends, directions and new challenges for the restoration of contaminated sites and marine environments.

The presentations are expected to focus on the technological advances of bioremediation treatment processes (including phytoremediation) for all types of media (air, soil, sediment, surface water, groundwater and industrial wastewater) contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated and other recalcitrant compounds, as well as on techniques for the microbiological, genetic and ecotoxicological monitoring of such processes. Innovative and low cost solutions through an integrated technological approach are also invited.

Topics:

• In-situ bioremediation of contaminated soil and groundwater
• Bioremediation of sites contaminated with oils and PAHs
• Bioremediation of sites contaminated with chlorinated and other recalcitrant compounds
• Ex-situ bioremediation of contaminated soils, sludges and industrial wastewaters
• Biomonitoring and bioremediation of contaminated sediments
• Bioreactor technologies for ex-situ treatment
• Crude oil bioremediation and marine environments
• Application of molecular biology techniques to bioremediation
• Bioremediation olive-mill wastewaters
• Bioremediation and integrated (bio)chemical valorization (via biomass, biomolecules, fine-chemicals, biomaterials and bioenergy production) of agro-industrial by-products, effluents, wastes and surplus
• Phytoremediation of organics and heavy metals
• Integrated technologies and new technology trends
• Mathematical modelling of bioremediation processes and performance
• Policy papers on the Water Framework Directive and the upcoming Soil Framework Directive
