Aquaculture from inland fish cultivation to wastewater treatment: a review
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Article)
The aquaculture industry is rapidly developing, generating a high amount of wastewater. Inland aquaculture effluents contain nutrients and other substances that can cause eutrophication and the emergence of resistive ...
Application note—A novel, low-cost pH-controlled solenoid-based CO2 dosing device for microalgal and cyanobacterial cultivation systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2024 , Article)
This application note proposes a novel, low-cost, pH-controlled solenoid-based CO2 dosing device for microalgal and cyanobacterial cultivation systems. The device consists of an Arduino-Uno microcontroller, a (ph-4502c) ...
Co-occurrence of antibiotic and metal resistance in long-term sewage sludge-amended soils: influence of application rates and pedo-climatic conditions
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
Urban sewage sludge (USS) is increasingly being used as an alternative organic amendment in agriculture. Because USS originates mostly from human excreta, partially metabolized pharmaceuticals have also been considered in ...
Yemen’s Water Woes: Why Climate Change Is a Drop in the Bucket
(
MALCOLM H. KERR CARNEGIE MIDDLE EAST CENTER
, 2024 , Book chapter)
The water crisis in Yemen did not start with the current conflict. It is a governance crisis stemming from sustainability failures dating back to the post-independence era. Groundwater depletion has been underway for ...
Thermal regulation of algae cultures in raceway ponds utilizing ground heat: Improving techno-economic feasibility and process sustainability of large-scale algae production in Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
There is an increasing drive for developing sustainable alternatives for fuels, foods, feeds, and chemicals. Algae can play a significant role in this, however the commercialization of microalgal biomass is still limited ...
Variation of soil properties with sampling depth in two different light-textured soils after repeated applications of urban sewage sludge
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Semi-arid agricultural soils have increasingly been subjected to urban sewage sludge (USS) applications due to accelerated soil depletion and shortages in manure supply. Research studies addressing USS reuse have mostly ...
Electrocatalytic CO oxidation on porous ternary PdNiO-CeO2/carbon black nanocatalysts: Effect of supports and electrolytes
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The catalytic activity and durability of porous ternary Pd-based electrocatalysts are augmented by alloying with other metals and using supports, however, the effect of supports and electrolytes at varied pH on the ...
Microalgae potential to protect from heavy metals-induced carcinogenicity
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Toxic elements are present naturally in the environment; however, during the last century, their level has been continuously rising in the air, water, and soil due to anthropogenic activities, including urban runoff, ...
Abiotic stress applied to Tetraselmis subcordiformis reveals enhanced metabolic responses and increased production of Omega-3 fatty acids: A Metabolomic approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The appeal of high value algal metabolites is certain due to their sustainability, low energy and space requirements. Yet, commercial-level production of such products is limited and has the potential to be enhanced. In ...
Carbon mineralization, biological indicators, and phytotoxicity to assess the impact of urban sewage sludge on two light-textured soils in a microcosm
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
The agricultural reuse of urban sewage sludge (USS) modifies soil properties depending on sludge quality, management, and pedo-environmental conditions. The aim of this microcosm study was to assess C mineralization and ...
