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 ...
Comparison of biocrude oil production from self-settling and non-settling microalgae biomass produced in the Qatari desert environment
(
Center for Environmental and Energy Research and Studies
, 2019 , Article)
The present study investigated the growth, harvesting, biocrude conversion, and recycling of the HTL aqueous phase for one self-settling (i.e., Chlorocystis sp.) and another non-settling (i.e., Picochlorum sp.) marine ...
Long-term semi-continuous cultivation of a halo-tolerant Tetraselmis sp. using recycled growth media
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, a halotolerant Tetraselmis sp. was selected for 11-month outdoor semi-continuous cultivation in one sq. m raceway tank in the Qatari desert. A fraction of the culture was harvested using ferric chloride, and ...
The effect of culture salinity on the harvesting of microalgae biomass using pilot-scale tangential-flow-filter membrane
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the effect of culture salinity (4–6% NaCl) on the harvesting of two microalgal strains (i.e., Picochlorum sp., and Tetraselmis sp.) was investigated using pilot-scale TFF membranes. The cultures of these two ...
Thermal modeling and optimization of microalgal biomass production in the harsh desert conditions of State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Microalgal culture in solar conditions raises several challenges, especially in the harsh desert areas of the Middle East where microalgal culture is a valuable candidate for biomass production on non-arable land. Here we ...
