Microalgal nutrients recycling from the primary effluent of municipal wastewater and use of the produced biomass as bio-fertilizer
(
Center for Environmental and Energy Research and Studies
, 2019 , Article)
Availability of N, P and other trace metals in municipal wastewater (MWW) makes it very attractive to produce microalgae biomass using MWW. Although limited organic carbon is available in MWW, supplementing flue gas as CO2 ...
Assessment of the algae-based biofertilizer influence on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivation
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the main fruit crop found in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. It naturally adapts to the adverse environments of extreme heat and water scarcity and prevents further ...
Microalgal bioremediation of petroleum-derived low salinity and low pH produced water
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
Due to the presence of toxic organic compounds and heavy metals, it is essential to treat the produced water before reuse or discharge to the environment. In this study, produced water sample was collected from a local ...
Potential of novel desert microalgae and cyanobacteria for commercial applications and CO2 sequestration
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
CO2 fixation by phototrophic microalgae and cyanobacteria is seen as a possible global carbon emissions reducer; however, novel microalgae and cyanobacterial strains with tolerance to elevated temperatures and CO2 ...
Optimization of iron dosage for microalgal biomass production as a feedstock for biofuel
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Summary: Biomass and metabolite production of three marine (Tetraselmis sp., Nannochloropsis sp., Chlorocystis sp.) and three freshwater microalgae (Scenedesmus sp., Chlorella sp., Monoraphidium sp.) were studied under ...
Evaluation of native microalgae from Tunisia using the pulse-amplitude-modulation measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence and a performance study in semi-continuous mode for biofuel production
(
BioMed Central Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Microalgae are attracting much attention as a promising feedstock for renewable energy production, while simultaneously providing environmental benefits. So far, comparison studies for microalgae selection for ...
Use of co-solvents in hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This study reviewed and summarized the literature regarding the use of alcohols during hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of algal biomass feedstocks. The use of both pure alcohols and alcohol-water co-solvents were considered. ...
Techno-economics of algae production in the Arabian Peninsula
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The Arabian Peninsula's advantageous climate, availability of non-arable land, access to seawater and CO2-rich flue gas, make it an attractive location for microalgae biomass production. Despite these promising aspects, ...
Cryopreservation of microalgae from desert environments of Qatar
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2016 , Article)
The Qatar University Culture Collection of Cyanobacteria and Microalgae (QUCCCM) is a unique resource containing a diverse collection of microalgae and cyanobacteria, isolated from the Qatar desert environment. In order ...
A novel bioprocess combining anaerobic co-digestion followed by ultra-filtration and microalgae culture for optimal olive mill wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Treatment of olive mill wastewater (OMW) has received considerable research globally due to its influence on the technical, economic, and environmental sustainability of wastewater biogas production. This work presents a ...
