Optimization of anaerobic co-digestion of fruit and vegetable waste with animal manure feedstocks using mixture design
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Optimization of anaerobic co-digestion of fruits and vegetable waste (FVW) with cow manure (CD) and poultry manure (PM) was studied by conducting biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests at different mixing ratios using ...
Olive oil by‑product’s contribution to the recovery of phenolic compounds from microalgal biomass: biochemical characterization, anti‑melanogenesis potential, and neuroprotective effect
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Recently, the use of microalgae in the treatment of olive mill wastewater as a safe method for reducing pollutants has gained more attention. However, the contribution of such by-product to the improvement of the pharmacological ...
Coupling air stripping process and anaerobic digestion for the treatment of landfill leachate: organics degradation and cytotoxicity evaluation
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Landfill leachate (LFL) from a controlled discharge in Tunisia was found to be highly loaded with ammonia. This study investigated the feasibility of an air stripping process aiming to mitigate the inhibitory effect of ...
Techno-economic modelling of high-value metabolites and secondary products from microalgae cultivated in closed photobioreactors with supplementary lighting
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The purpose of this study is to develop an initial computational model to evaluate the techno-economic viability of high-value and secondary resources from microalgae. The isolation of high-value metabolites is the driving ...
Towards fossil free cities – Emission assessment of food and resources consumption with the FEWprint carbon accounting platform
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Current urbanization rates concentrate the ever growing demand for food, energy and water (FEW) resources particularly in cities, making them one of the main drivers of greenhouse gas emissions. The FEW nexus integrative ...
A comparison of bio-crude oil production from five marine microalgae – Using life cycle analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Marine microalgae biomass could offer a viable feedstock for sustainably producing biofuel by hydrothermal liquefaction. In this study, five promising marine microalgae (i.e., Tetraselmis, Picochlorum, Synechococcus, ...
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 ...

(
Global Waste Cleaning Network
, 2021 , Article)
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, ...
Exploring the Biochemical Methane Potential of Wholesale Market Waste from Jordan and Tunisia for a Future Scale‑Up of Anaerobic Digestion in Amman and Sfax
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Local open markets, trading fruits and vegetables, are widespread in Mediterranean countries, such as Tunisia and Jordan, producing large amounts of organic waste. Applying an anaerobic digestion process on this substrate ...
Optimizing the Extraction Conditions of Hydroxytyrosol from Olive Leaves Using a Modified Spherical Activated Carbon: A New Experimental Design
(
Hindawi
, 2022 , Article)
The purification of hydroxytyrosol from olive leaves extract by modified activated carbon was studied experimentally in a batch system and a column by adsorption and desorption processes. The extraction yield reached 90% ...
