(
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 ...
Monitoring and measurement of microalgae using the first derivative of absorbance and comparison with chlorophyll extraction method
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
Monitoring of microalgae in water supplies and industrial applications are becoming increasingly important, yet there are few options available that are simple and accurate, and can provide real-time information. The present ...
Trends in microalgal-based systems as a promising concept for emerging contaminants and mineral salt recovery from municipal wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
In the context of climate change leading to water scarcity for many people in the world, the treatment of municipal wastewater becomes a necessity. However, the reuse of this water requires secondary and tertiary treatment ...
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, ...
