( Elsevier B.V. , 2024 , Article)This application note proposes a novel, low-cost, pH-controlled solenoid-based CO2 dosing device for microalgal and cyanobacterial cultivation systems. The device consists of an Arduino-Uno microcontroller, a (ph-4502c) ... -
Fabrication of H2S sensitive gas sensors formed of SnO2–Fe2O3 composite nanoparticles
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)Nanocomposites of metal oxide are considered promising candidates for developing novel gas sensors of exceptional performance. Composite SnO2–Fe2O3 nanoparticles are produced in this work by a modified sole-gel method, and ... -
Hydrothermal liquefaction of marine microalgae biomass using co-solvents
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae biomass is a promising conversion technology in which wet biomass is treated under high temperature (280–350 °C) and pressure (5–21 MPa), and the associated water in the wet ... -
Institutional arrangements for beneficial regional cooperation on water, energy and food priority issues in the Eastern Nile Basin
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)Research on water cooperation in the Eastern Nile Basin has focused on expanding policy and diplomacy tools for a better allocation of transboundary water resources confined to the river. Regional cooperation on water and ... -
Microalgal-based desalination brine remediation: Achievements, challenges, and future research trends
( Elsevier B.V. , 2024 , Book Review)Desalination brine discharge has several negative impacts on the marine environment, such as increase in salinity levels, effects on marine biodiversity, and alteration of the physical and chemical characteristics of water. ... -
Outdoor semi-continuous cultivation of Synechococcus sp. for enhanced carotenoid production
( Elsevier B.V. , 2024 , Article)The carotenoid productivity of a euryhaline Synechococcus sp. was studied in indoor and outdoor conditions. Indoor experiments revealed that the strain could maintain growth and carotenoid accumulation within a salinity ... -
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 ... -
Potential utilization of waste nitrogen fertilizer from a fertilizer industry using marine microalgae
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)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) ... -
Salinity inhibits seed germination of perennial halophytes Limonium stocksii and Suaeda fruticosa by reducing water uptake and ascorbate dependent antioxidant system
( Elsevier B.V. , 2014 , Article)Information about production and detoxification of reactive oxygen species during seed germination of halophytes under saline conditions is scanty. We therefore studied levels of common oxidative stress markers, antioxidant ... -
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 ... -
Utilization of nitrogen-rich agricultural waste streams by microalgae for the production of protein and value-added compounds
( Elsevier B.V. , 2023 , Article)Current food and feed production practices via agricultural processes generate waste streams often rich in nitrogen. Conversion of the nitrogen in agricultural waste into valuable products would prevent environmental ... -
Water resources assessment of zayandeh-rood river basin using integrated surface water and groundwater footprints and K-means clustering method
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)The lack of an integrated approach to assess the quantity and quality of surface water and groundwater resources undesirably affects their sustainability and errors in users' decisions in the optimal development of basins. ...
