Biocrude oil and high-value metabolite production potential of the Nitzschia sp.
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2021 , Article)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 ... -
Box-Behnken approach for optimization of Cr(III) removal from a real tanning effluent using powdered marble
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2022 , Article)During the tanning step, 30-40% of trivalent chromium remains in the solid and liquid wastes, generating highly polluted sewage. In this study, powdered marble was used as a low-cost adsorbent to remove trivalent chromium ... -
Chicken manure and wheat straw co-digestion in batch leach bed reactors: optimization of the start-up conditions
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2023 , Article)Chicken manure can be regarded as a valuable resource for energy recovery in rural areas. In this context, this study evaluated the co-digestion of chicken manure and wheat straw in leach bed reactors (LBRs). Among several ... -
Comparison of machine learning models for predicting groundwater level, case study: Najafabad region
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2023 , Article)Water resources, consisting of surface water and groundwater, are considered to be among the crucial natural resources in most arid and semiarid regions. Groundwater resources as the sustainable yields can be predicted, ... -
Dry mesophilic anaerobic co-digestion of vegetable wastes with animal manures using leach bed reactor
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2023 , Article)Anaerobic digestion is an environmentally sustainable technology for converting a variety of organic solid feedstocks to energy in the form of methane. To improve methane yield, the digestion of more than one waste is ... -
Effect of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer on kinematic viscosity and thermal stability of jojoba, date seed, and waste cooking oils in lubricant applications
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2022 , Article)Vegetable oils possess excellent lubricant properties, but one reason limiting their application as lubricants is their low kinematic viscosity. This study investigated how the addition of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer ... -
Extraction optimization using response surface methodology and evaluation of the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of polyphenols in Scenedesmus sp. and Chlorella sp.
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2023 , Article)Microalgae are considered natural alternatives to replace synthetic antioxidants. The extraction of polyphenols from Scenedesmus sp. and Chlorella sp. was optimized by employing a central composite design. The effect of ... -
Isolation of bacterial strains from compost teas and screening of their PGPR properties on potato plants
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2022 , Article)The beneficial effect of compost and compost tea on plant growth and protection is mainly associated with the microbial diversity and the presence of bacteria with plant growth-promoting effect. PGPR are considered as ... -
