Microalgae biomass production in municipal wastewater and use of the produced biomass as sustainable biofertilizer
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Due to the lack of natural water sources, and cost and environmental issues associated with water desalination, Qatar currently emphasizes on the reuse of current wastewater sources, which includes conventional and ... -
Microalgae harvesting by pH adjusted coagulation-flocculation, recycling of the coagulant and the growth media
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)Coagulation-flocculation can be considered as one of the least energy intensive microalgae biomass harvesting processes. However, cost of the coagulant and biomass contamination are two critical issues that need to be ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
