Semi-continuous anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste: digester performance and microbial population dynamics
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Anaerobic digestion is an attractive approach for the management of organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and for the recovery of energy from this waste. A semi-continuous digestion of OFMSW was conducted on ...
Biochar from olive mill solid waste as an eco-friendly adsorbent for the removal of polyphenols from olive mill wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
In Tunisia, olive mill waste water (OMW) is discharged into evaporation ponds where they turn into solid waste (OMSW) and become a serious threat to the environment. This paper addresses for the first time how to valorize ...
A jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) seed cake extracts express hepatoprotective activity against paracetamol-induced toxicity in rats
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective activity of jojoba seed cake extracts against an acute paracetamol (PC) intoxication. Two aqueous extracts from jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) seed cake, a simmondsin-rich ...
Biodegradation of diclofenac by two green microalgae: Picocystis sp. and Graesiella sp.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The aim of the present study was to provide an integrated view of algal removal of diclofenac (DCF). Two isolated microalgal strains Picocystis sp. and Graesiella sp. were cultivated under different DCF concentrations and ...
Emerging contaminants and nutrients recovery by Picocystis sp. under continuous culture in contaminated secondary municipal wastewater effluent
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study assesses the growth and the recovery ability of the Chlorophyta Picocystis sp., cultivated in wastewater supplemented by a model mixture of emerging contaminants (EMCs). The mixture of EMCs consisted of three ...
Performance of UASB reactor treating waste activated sludge: Effect of electro-chemical disintegration on the anaerobic microbial population structure and abundance
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The electro-Fenton (EF) disintegration using iron electrodes was performed for the pretreatment of waste activated sludge (WAS). The effect of this electro-chemical pretreatment on anaerobic digestion (AD) performance and ...
Olive agroforestry shapes rhizosphere microbiome networks associated with annual crops and impacts the biomass production under low-rainfed conditions
(
Frontiers Media
, 2022 , Article)
Agroforestry (AF) is a promising land-use system to mitigate water deficiency, particularly in semi-arid areas. However, the belowground microbes associated with crops below trees remain seldom addressed. This study aimed ...
Assessment of SnO2 nanoparticles' impact on the growth of Picochlorum maculatum algae
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2022 , Article)
To determine the effect of SnO2 nanoparticles on Picochlorum maculatum - isolated from a Qatar marine environment, algal growth media are amended with different nanoparticle concentrations (1, 5, 25, 50, and 100 mg L−1) ...
Insights into the degradation mechanism of PET and PP under marine conditions using FTIR
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Plastics possess diverse functional properties that have made them extremely desirable. However, due to poor waste management practices, large quantities eventually end up in the oceans where their degradation begins. ...
Microplastics in surface waters of the Gulf of Gabes, southern Mediterranean Sea: Distribution, composition and influence of hydrodynamics
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The Mediterranean Sea has been described as one of the most affected areas by marine litter in the world. Although microplastics and their effects have been investigated in this area, most of the currently available studies ...
