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) ...
A comparative physicochemical property assessment and techno-economic analysis of biolubricants produced using chemical modification and additive-based routes
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Several edible and non-edible oil sources are currently being developed as renewable basestocks for biolubricant production. However, these feedstocks possess undesirable physicochemical properties limiting their lubricant ...
Harvesting of Chlorella sp. microalgae by dielectrophoretic force using titanium dioxide (TiO2) insulated electrodes
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The harvesting of microalgae using conventional technologies suffers from biomass contamination, high energy consumption and long processing time. In this study, titanium dioxide insulated stainless steel electrodes were ...

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Surface seawater, collected from three fishing harbors during different seasons of the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, were assessed for physico-chemical analyses. Results showed that seawater was mainly polluted by hydrocarbons ...
Box-Behnken approach for optimization of Cr(III) removal from a real tanning effluent using powdered marble
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
During the tanning step, 30-40% of trivalent chromium remains in the solid and liquid wastes, generating highly polluted sewage. In this study, powdered marble was used as a low-cost adsorbent to remove trivalent chromium ...
Isolation of bacterial strains from compost teas and screening of their PGPR properties on potato plants
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
The beneficial effect of compost and compost tea on plant growth and protection is mainly associated with the microbial diversity and the presence of bacteria with plant growth-promoting effect. PGPR are considered as ...
