Algal-algal bioflocculation enhances the recovery efficiency of Picochlorum sp. QUCCCM130 with low auto-settling capacity
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Large-scale production of microalgal biomass is still considered non-viable due to the high cost and energy required for harvesting. A fast, cost-effective, and successful harvesting technique has become widely sought after ...
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 ...
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 ...
Biocrude oil production from a self-settling marine cyanobacterium, Chroococcidiopsis sp., using a biorefinery approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Although the whole microalgal biomass is typically used as a feedstock for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), the conversion of a primary metabolite (i.e., carbohydrate) to biocrude is very low. In this study, a self-settling ...
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, ...
Physicochemical Stability Enhancement of ?-carotene-rich O/W Nanoemulsions using a New Natural Emulsifier Developed from Pistacia lentiscus Fruit Residue
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
A natural antioxidant-emulsifier was developed from oil pressed Pistacia lentiscus fruit and tested for oil-in-water nanoemulsions ?-carotene encapsulation. Five extracts were prepared, characterized and screened for their ...
Overproduction of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by the extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula sp. CEJ40-10 using starchy substrate
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2023 , Article)
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), green alternatives to petroleum-derived plastics, possess desired features that make them preferred for various applications. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), one of the most known representative ...
Biolubricant Synthesis by Additization and Chemical Modification from Lipid-Rich Brackish Coelastrella sp. Using a Biorefinery Approach
(
American Chemical Society
, 2023 , Article)
With a sizable market share and widespread use in automotive and industrial applications, biolubricants are produced from the oils of terrestrial plants that have undergone chemical modification or additive addition. ...
Microalgal Feedstock for Biofuel Production: Recent Advances, Challenges, and Future Perspective
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Globally, nations are trying to address environmental issues such as global warming and climate change, along with the burden of declining fossil fuel reserves. Furthermore, countries aim to reach zero carbon emissions ...
Pilot-scale crossflow ultrafiltration of four different cell-sized marine microalgae to assess the ultrafiltration performance and energy requirements
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Four marine microalgae (e.g., Tetraselmis, Picochlorum, Dunaliella, and Synechococcus) with different cell sizes were harvested using pilot-scale ultrafiltration. Average permeate fluxes were 16.75, 19, 25.35, and 33.75 ...
