Pilot-scale crossflow ultrafiltration of four different cell-sized marine microalgae to assess the ultrafiltration performance and energy requirements
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Four marine microalgae (e.g., Tetraselmis, Picochlorum, Dunaliella, and Synechococcus) with different cell sizes were harvested using pilot-scale ultrafiltration. Average permeate fluxes were 16.75, 19, 25.35, and 33.75 ...
Total Hg levels distribution in fish and fish products and their relationships with fish types, weights, and protein and lipid contents: A multivariate analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates the mercury (Hg) levels distribution in fish and fish products and their relationships with fish types, weights, protein, and lipid contents in Qatar. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed ...
Microalgal bioremediation of brackish aquaculture wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Rapid aquaculture industry development contributed to a major increase in aquaculture wastewater generation. In the context of a circular economy, aquaculture wastewater treatment should simultaneously recover nutrients ...
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 ...
Synthesis of nanostructured novel ion-imprinted polymer for selective removal of Cu2+ and Sr2+ ions from reverse osmosis concentrated brine
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study aims to prepare an ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) using copper sulfate as a template and potassium persulfate as an initiator to selectively adsorb copper ions (Cu2+) from aqueous solutions and in an attempt to ...
Shear and Tensile Strength Measurements of CaCO 3 Cemented Bonds between Glass Beads Treated by Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2023 , Article)
The particle-scale shear and tensile strength measurements of microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) treatment have been investigated in this paper. Glass beads were used to represent sand particles. Three ...
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 ...
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 ...
The recovery of strontium ions from seawater reverse osmosis brine using novel composite materials of ferrocyanides modified roasted date pits
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, three types of adsorbents were used to remove and recover strontium ions (Sr2+) from aqueous and brine solution of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), namely roasted date pits (RDP) and RDP modified using copper ...
