Evaluation of native microalgae from Tunisia using the pulse-amplitude-modulation measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence and a performance study in semi-continuous mode for biofuel production
(
BioMed Central Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Microalgae are attracting much attention as a promising feedstock for renewable energy production, while simultaneously providing environmental benefits. So far, comparison studies for microalgae selection for ...
Potential of novel desert microalgae and cyanobacteria for commercial applications and CO2 sequestration
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
CO2 fixation by phototrophic microalgae and cyanobacteria is seen as a possible global carbon emissions reducer; however, novel microalgae and cyanobacterial strains with tolerance to elevated temperatures and CO2 ...
Cultivating microalgae in desert conditions: Evaluation of the effect of light‐temperature summer conditions on the growth and metabolism of nannochloropsis qu130
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Temperature and light are two of the most crucial factors for microalgae production. Variations in these factors alter their growth kinetics, macromolecular composition and physiological properties, including cell membrane ...
Treatment of wastewaters by microalgae and the potential applications of the produced biomass-a review
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The treatment of different types of wastewater by physicochemical or biological (nonmicroalgal) methods could often be either inefficient or energy-intensive. Microalgae are ubiquitous microscopic organisms, which thrive ...
Thermal regulation of algae cultures in raceway ponds utilizing ground heat: Improving techno-economic feasibility and process sustainability of large-scale algae production in Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
There is an increasing drive for developing sustainable alternatives for fuels, foods, feeds, and chemicals. Algae can play a significant role in this, however the commercialization of microalgal biomass is still limited ...
Microalgae: A potential bioagent for treatment of emerging contaminants from domestic wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Water crisis around the world leads to a growing interest in emerging contaminants (ECs) that can affect human health and the environment. Research showed that thousands of compounds from domestic consumers, such as endocrine ...
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, ...
Solar cultivation of microalgae in a desert environment for the development of techno-functional feed ingredients for aquaculture in Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The demand for aquaculture feed will increase in the coming years in order to ensure food security for a growing global population. Microalgae represent a potential fish-feed ingredient; however, the feasibility of their ...
Potential of microalgae as a sustainable feed ingredient for aquaculture
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
An increase in fish consumption, combined with a decrease in wild fish harvest, is driving the aquaculture industry at rapid pace. Today, farmed seafood accounts for about half of all global seafood demand for human ...
Energy recovery and nutrients recycling from municipal sewage sludge
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) could be a promising and better alternative to other techniques for energy recovery from municipal sewage sludge (MSS). However, the nutrients (i.e., N, and P) recovery potential from the ...
