As the population continues to grow, the generation of waste and specifically plastic waste, has also increased significantly in the past decades both globally and regionally. However, little attention has been directed ...

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 ...

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 ...

This study investigated the feasibility of microalgal biomass production using waste nitrogen fertilizers (WNFs) generated by the Qatar Fertiliser Company (QAFCO). From the plant, three types of WNFs (WNF1, WNF2, and WNF3) ...

Diatom biomass could be an alternative feedstock for producing bio-oil through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technique. Additionally, diatom biomass could have high-value metabolites, such as pigments and polyunsaturated ...

In this study, we investigated the chemical composition, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of essential oil and aqueous extract from Thymus algeriensis Boiss. & Reut growing in Tunisia. GC/MS analysis of essential ...

The last decade witnessed a return to traditional ways of farming that were, for decades, braced by technological advancement. Along with many countries around the world, Qatar manifests an interest in urban farming, ...

The hydro-distilled leaves of Pistacia lentiscus are considered as an agricultural residue and of no commercial value yet. In this study, chromatographic purification of a methanolic fraction of P. lentiscus L. (lentisk) ...
