Biodegradation of hydrocarbons and biosurfactants production by a newly halotolerant Pseudomonas sp. strain isolated from contaminated seawater
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
A strain NAPH6 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from contaminated seawater taken from the fishing harbor of Sfax, Tunisia, was able to degrade almost completly the naphthalene (200 mg/l) and the aliphatic hydrocarbons ...
Model predictive control for optimal energy management of connected cluster of microgrids with net zero energy multi-greenhouses
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This paper intends to present a cooperative control framework for a connected cluster of microgrids with multi-smart greenhouses creating a smart local electric grid in the framework of smart grids. Each microgrid comprises ...
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 ...
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 ...
Techno-economics of algae production in the Arabian Peninsula
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The Arabian Peninsula's advantageous climate, availability of non-arable land, access to seawater and CO2-rich flue gas, make it an attractive location for microalgae biomass production. Despite these promising aspects, ...
Nutrients and energy digestibility of microalgal biomass for fish feed applications
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Aquafeed accounts for at least 75-90% of aquaculture's operating costs. Traditional aquafeed ingredients such as fishmeal, fish oil, and soybean meal are unsustainable; further, their increasing cost necessities developing ...
Pt-doped armchair graphene nanoribbon as a promising gas sensor for CO and CO2: DFT study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, four armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) based sensor materials were built using Atomistic ToolKit Virtual NanoLab (ATK-VNL) and utilized to detect carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) gases. First, ...
Efficiency of benthic diatom-associated bacteria in the removal of benzo(a)pyrene and fluoranthene
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
We investigated the efficiency of a benthic diatom-associated bacteria in removing benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and fluoranthene (Flt). The diatom, isolated from a PAH-contaminated sediment of the Bizerte Lagoon (Tunisia), was ...
Pistacia lentiscus by-product as a promising source of phenolic compounds and carotenoids: Purification, biological potential and binding properties
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
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) ...
Valorization of salt post-modified poultry manure biochars for phosphorus recovery from aqueous solutions: investigations on adsorption properties and involved mechanism
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
In this research work, raw poultry manure biochar (RPM-B) was post-modified by two metal salts and then evaluated for P recovery from aqueous solutions in batch mode. The modified biochar characterization showed that RPM-B ...
