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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Techno-economics of algae production in the Arabian Peninsula
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The Arabian Peninsula's advantageous climate, availability of non-arable land, access to seawater and CO2-rich flue gas, make it an attractive location for microalgae biomass production. Despite these promising aspects, ...
A novel bioprocess combining anaerobic co-digestion followed by ultra-filtration and microalgae culture for optimal olive mill wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Treatment of olive mill wastewater (OMW) has received considerable research globally due to its influence on the technical, economic, and environmental sustainability of wastewater biogas production. This work presents a ...
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 ...
Emerging contaminants and nutrients recovery by Picocystis sp. under continuous culture in contaminated secondary municipal wastewater effluent
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study assesses the growth and the recovery ability of the Chlorophyta Picocystis sp., cultivated in wastewater supplemented by a model mixture of emerging contaminants (EMCs). The mixture of EMCs consisted of three ...
A comprehensive review on harvesting of microalgae using Polyacrylamide-Based Flocculants: Potentials and challenges
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Microalgae biomass is touted as a highly promising source of renewable third-generation biofuels that could enable a lucrative transition from conventional fossil fuels to more sustainable and environment-friendly energy ...
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 ...
