Microalgal nutrients recycling from the primary effluent of municipal wastewater and use of the produced biomass as bio-fertilizer
(
Center for Environmental and Energy Research and Studies
, 2019 , Article)
Availability of N, P and other trace metals in municipal wastewater (MWW) makes it very attractive to produce microalgae biomass using MWW. Although limited organic carbon is available in MWW, supplementing flue gas as CO2 ...
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 ...
Microalgal bioremediation of petroleum-derived low salinity and low pH produced water
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
Due to the presence of toxic organic compounds and heavy metals, it is essential to treat the produced water before reuse or discharge to the environment. In this study, produced water sample was collected from a local ...
Use of co-solvents in hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This study reviewed and summarized the literature regarding the use of alcohols during hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of algal biomass feedstocks. The use of both pure alcohols and alcohol-water co-solvents were considered. ...
Potential application of microalgae in produced water treatment
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
The current study examines pollutant removal efficiency from the produced water of a local petroleum industry by five different local microalgae species. The five microalgae strains Monoraphidium, Chlorella, Neochloris, ...
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 ...
