Algal-algal bioflocculation enhances the recovery efficiency of Picochlorum sp. QUCCCM130 with low auto-settling capacity
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Large-scale production of microalgal biomass is still considered non-viable due to the high cost and energy required for harvesting. A fast, cost-effective, and successful harvesting technique has become widely sought after ...
Potential of microalgae as a sustainable feed ingredient for aquaculture
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
An increase in fish consumption, combined with a decrease in wild fish harvest, is driving the aquaculture industry at rapid pace. Today, farmed seafood accounts for about half of all global seafood demand for human ...
Treatment of wastewaters by microalgae and the potential applications of the produced biomass-a review
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The treatment of different types of wastewater by physicochemical or biological (nonmicroalgal) methods could often be either inefficient or energy-intensive. Microalgae are ubiquitous microscopic organisms, which thrive ...
Nutrients and energy digestibility of microalgal biomass for fish feed applications
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Aquafeed accounts for at least 75-90% of aquaculture's operating costs. Traditional aquafeed ingredients such as fishmeal, fish oil, and soybean meal are unsustainable; further, their increasing cost necessities developing ...
Potential utilization of waste nitrogen fertilizer from a fertilizer industry using marine microalgae
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
This study investigated the feasibility of microalgal biomass production using waste nitrogen fertilizers (WNFs) generated by the Qatar Fertiliser Company (QAFCO). From the plant, three types of WNFs (WNF1, WNF2, and WNF3) ...
