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 ...
Outdoor scale-up of Leptolyngbya sp.: Effect of light intensity and inoculum volume on photoinhibition and -oxidation
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
The effect of light intensity and inoculum volume on the occurrence of photooxidation for Leptolyngbya sp. QUCCCM 56 was investigated, to facilitate the transition from small-scale laboratory experiments to large-scale ...
A study to investigate the energy recovery potential from different macromolecules of a low-lipid marine Tetraselmis sp. biomass through HTL process
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study investigated the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of extracted major macromolecules from Tetraselmis sp. biomass. The carbohydrate fraction was first recovered from Tetraselmis biomass using pressurized heated ...
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, ...
A comparative study of the growth of Tetraselmis sp. in large scale fixed depth and decreasing depth raceway ponds
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, an alternative approach was proposed where excess seawater would be added only during inoculation (DD) rather than daily addition (FD). Growth and metabolite contents of Tetraselmis sp. weren't affected for ...
Microalgae harvesting by pH adjusted coagulation-flocculation, recycling of the coagulant and the growth media
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Coagulation-flocculation can be considered as one of the least energy intensive microalgae biomass harvesting processes. However, cost of the coagulant and biomass contamination are two critical issues that need to be ...
Effect of harvesting methods on the energy requirement of Tetraselmis sp. biomass production and biocrude yield and quality
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
A halo-tolerant Tetraselmis sp. was grown in a 100,000 L raceway pond in the Qatari desert environment. As the biomass density reached 0.679 g/L, after 7 days, five different harvesting methods (i.e., cross-flow filtration, ...
Circular Economy in Basic Supply: Framing the Approach for the Water and Food Sectors of the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The circular economy concept can enhance sustainability through restructuring consumption and production patterns using innovative designs and business models. This core premise is highly relevant for the interlinked water ...
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 ...
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 ...
