Qatar: A Valuable Resource for Autochthonous Micrlgae with High Potential for Biofuel Production and Food Security
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Algae-derived products, in particular biodiesel, have received increased interest over recent years due to their advantages over fossil fuel derived products. The ability of algae to grow in different qualities of water, ...
Determination of Optimum Iron Requirement for Production of Microalgae Biomass as Biofuel Feedstock
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgae biomass is considered as one of the promising alternative feedstock for biofuel production. The biomass productivity of some of the microalgae can exceed an order of magnitude compared to any other terrestrial ...
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 ...
Qatar University culture collection: A source of biodiversity and numerous applications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that can grow in different environments (sea water, fresh water, waste water soil, rocks….) and under various conditions (Light, pH, temperature, salinity….). During their phases ...
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 ...
Evidence of thermo and halotolerant Nannochloris isolate suitable for biodiesel production in Qatar Culture Collection of Cyanobacteria and Microalgae
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The isolation of autochthonous microalgae, with high lipid-contents and biomass productivities is a crucial aspect of the development of commercial production of microalgae-based biodiesel as well as food security in ...
Thermal modeling and optimization of microalgal biomass production in the harsh desert conditions of State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Microalgal culture in solar conditions raises several challenges, especially in the harsh desert areas of the Middle East where microalgal culture is a valuable candidate for biomass production on non-arable land. Here we ...
Biodegradation of diclofenac by two green microalgae: Picocystis sp. and Graesiella sp.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The aim of the present study was to provide an integrated view of algal removal of diclofenac (DCF). Two isolated microalgal strains Picocystis sp. and Graesiella sp. were cultivated under different DCF concentrations and ...
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 ...
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 ...
