Urban water pricing in Yemen: a comparison of increasing block tariffs to other pricing schemes
(
Routledge
, 2017 , Article)
This study examines the viability of increasing block tariffs (IBTs) to achieve the right balance between efficiency, financial requirements and equity, and compares them to alternative pricing schemes. Using numerical ...
Efficient extraction of lipids from microalgal biomass for the production of biofuels using low-cost protic ionic solvents
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The valorization of lipids available in microalgal biomass supports the indispensable transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy systems such as biofuels. Ionic liquids have been long investigated for the effective ...
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) ...
Optimization of iron dosage for microalgal biomass production as a feedstock for biofuel
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Summary: Biomass and metabolite production of three marine (Tetraselmis sp., Nannochloropsis sp., Chlorocystis sp.) and three freshwater microalgae (Scenedesmus sp., Chlorella sp., Monoraphidium sp.) were studied under ...
Assessment of the algae-based biofertilizer influence on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivation
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the main fruit crop found in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. It naturally adapts to the adverse environments of extreme heat and water scarcity and prevents further ...
A comparative physicochemical property assessment and techno-economic analysis of biolubricants produced using chemical modification and additive-based routes
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Several edible and non-edible oil sources are currently being developed as renewable basestocks for biolubricant production. However, these feedstocks possess undesirable physicochemical properties limiting their lubricant ...
Microplastics in surface waters of the Gulf of Gabes, southern Mediterranean Sea: Distribution, composition and influence of hydrodynamics
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The Mediterranean Sea has been described as one of the most affected areas by marine litter in the world. Although microplastics and their effects have been investigated in this area, most of the currently available studies ...
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 ...
Microalgal bioremediation of brackish aquaculture wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Rapid aquaculture industry development contributed to a major increase in aquaculture wastewater generation. In the context of a circular economy, aquaculture wastewater treatment should simultaneously recover nutrients ...
CO, CO2, and SO2 detection based on functionalized graphene nanoribbons: First principles study
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, density functional theory (DFT) has been used to build armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) gas sensor and study its capacity to detect carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) ...
