Efficient extraction of lipids from microalgal biomass for the production of biofuels using low-cost protic ionic solvents
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The valorization of lipids available in microalgal biomass supports the indispensable transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy systems such as biofuels. Ionic liquids have been long investigated for the effective ...
Biocrude oil production from a self-settling marine cyanobacterium, Chroococcidiopsis sp., using a biorefinery approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Although the whole microalgal biomass is typically used as a feedstock for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), the conversion of a primary metabolite (i.e., carbohydrate) to biocrude is very low. In this study, a self-settling ...
Reuse of Sludge as Organic Soil Amendment: Insights into the Current Situation and Potential Challenges
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article Review)
Sludge generation as an organic by-product of wastewater treatment has seen a consistent increase worldwide due to population growth and industrial activities. This poses a chronic challenge regarding management options ...
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 ...
Microalgal Feedstock for Biofuel Production: Recent Advances, Challenges, and Future Perspective
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Globally, nations are trying to address environmental issues such as global warming and climate change, along with the burden of declining fossil fuel reserves. Furthermore, countries aim to reach zero carbon emissions ...
Dry mesophilic anaerobic co-digestion of vegetable wastes with animal manures using leach bed reactor
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2023 , Article)
Anaerobic digestion is an environmentally sustainable technology for converting a variety of organic solid feedstocks to energy in the form of methane. To improve methane yield, the digestion of more than one waste is ...
Utilization of nitrogen-rich agricultural waste streams by microalgae for the production of protein and value-added compounds
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Current food and feed production practices via agricultural processes generate waste streams often rich in nitrogen. Conversion of the nitrogen in agricultural waste into valuable products would prevent environmental ...
Physicochemical Stability Enhancement of ?-carotene-rich O/W Nanoemulsions using a New Natural Emulsifier Developed from Pistacia lentiscus Fruit Residue
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
A natural antioxidant-emulsifier was developed from oil pressed Pistacia lentiscus fruit and tested for oil-in-water nanoemulsions ?-carotene encapsulation. Five extracts were prepared, characterized and screened for their ...
