Observations of brown band disease in the Gulf of Mannar, India
(
CSIRO
, 2021 , Article)
The abundance and frequency of coral diseases have increased significantly during recent decades. The Gulf of Mannar in India has well-established coral reefs that have been affected by various climatic and non-climatic ...
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 ...
Total Hg levels distribution in fish and fish products and their relationships with fish types, weights, and protein and lipid contents: A multivariate analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates the mercury (Hg) levels distribution in fish and fish products and their relationships with fish types, weights, protein, and lipid contents in Qatar. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Smart Synthesis of Trimethyl Ethoxysilane (TMS) Functionalized Core–Shell Magnetic Nanosorbents Fe3O4@SiO2: Process Optimization and Application for Extraction of Pesticides
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In the current study, a smart approach for synthesizing trimethyl ethoxysilane–decorated magnetic-core silica-nanoparticles (TMS-mcSNPs) and its effectiveness as nanosorbents have been exploited. While the magnetite core ...
Synthesis of nanostructured novel ion-imprinted polymer for selective removal of Cu2+ and Sr2+ ions from reverse osmosis concentrated brine
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study aims to prepare an ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) using copper sulfate as a template and potassium persulfate as an initiator to selectively adsorb copper ions (Cu2+) from aqueous solutions and in an attempt to ...
Shear and Tensile Strength Measurements of CaCO 3 Cemented Bonds between Glass Beads Treated by Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2023 , Article)
The particle-scale shear and tensile strength measurements of microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) treatment have been investigated in this paper. Glass beads were used to represent sand particles. Three ...
Microbially induced calcite precipitation in calcareous soils by endogenous Bacillus cereus, at high pH and harsh weather
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) improves the physical properties of soils by increasing the solid content, decreasing the pore sizes and improving the rigidity of the particle-to-particle contact ending ...
