(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The objective of this study was to investigate and compare the growth rate and treatment efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris, Neochloris oleoabundans and mixed indigenous microalgae for the removal of organic carbon, nitrogen ...
Intergraded wastewater treatment and carbon bio-fixation from flue gases using Spirulina platensis and mixed algal culture
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, Spirulina platensis (SP.PL) and mixed algal culture (M.X) were used as an economical treatment technology to solve dual environmental issues related to carbon dioxide (CO2) capturing and wastewater treatment. ...
From Waste to Watts: Updates on Key Applications of Microbial Fuel Cells in Wastewater Treatment and Energy Production
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Due to fossil fuel depletion and the rapid growth of industry, it is critical to develop environmentally friendly and long-term alternative energy technologies. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a powerful platform for ...
Sustainable innovation in membrane technologies for produced water treatment: Challenges and limitations
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Discharged water from the oil and gas fields is a common type of wastewater called produced water (PW). It consists of different combinations of salinities, oils, and mineral deposits. Growing industrial demand, accelerated ...
Bioelectrochemical production of hydrogen in an innovative pressure-retarded osmosis/microbial electrolysis cell system: experiments and modeling
(
BioMed Central
, 2015 , Article)
Background
While microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can simultaneously produce bioelectrochemical hydrogen and treat wastewater, they consume considerable energy to overcome the unfavorable thermodynamics, which is not ...
Mathematical modeling assisted investigation of forward osmosis as pretreatment for microbial desalination cells to achieve continuous water desalination and wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Coupling forward osmosis (FO) with microbial desalination cells (MDCs) can lead to some synergistic benefits, i.e. simultaneous water recovery, desalination and removal of COD (chemical oxygen demand). Herein, an FO-MDC ...
Comprehensive insights into conversion of microalgae to feed, food, and biofuels: Current status and key challenges towards implementation of sustainable biorefineries
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Microalgae have been promoted as important feedstocks for producing biofuels and bioproducts. However, their production on a large scale would require a large amount of water and nutrients. Considering the importance of ...
Dual functional materials capable of integrating adsorption and Fenton-based oxidation processes for highly efficient removal of pharmaceutical contaminants
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Pharmaceutical contaminants have shown widespread presence in water/wastewater threatening environmental and human health. Existing literature shows that adsorption can efficiently bind pharmaceuticals preventing their ...
Treatment of septic tank effluent using moving-bed biological reactor: kinetic and biofilm morphology
(
Center for Environmental and Energy Research and Studies
, 2016 , Article)
Septic tanks are very commonly used wastewater collection systems throughout the world, and especially in rural areas. In this study, the use of moving-bed biological reactors (MBBR) for the treatment of septic tank effluent ...
Enhancing desalination and wastewater treatment by coupling microbial desalination cells with forward osmosis
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Both microbial desalination cells (MDCs) and forwards osmosis (FO) are emerging technologies for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. However, incomplete treatment/desalination in both technologies creates challenges ...
