An Innovative Low-Cost Equipment for Electro-Concentration of Microalgal Biomass
(Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2020-07-14)
Microalgal harvesting is one of the most challenging processes in the development of algal research and development. Several methods, such as centrifugation, flocculation and filtration, are available at the laboratory ...
Production of Chlorella vulgaris Biomass on UV‐treated Wastewater as an Alternative for Environmental Sustainability on High‐Mountain Fisheries
(Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018-05)
The sustained expansion of agricultural industry in Colombian high-mountain has led to an increased size of residues, especially untreated wastewater. This untreated water is an urgent matter for public and environmental ...
The Application of Catalytic Processes on the Production of Algae-Based Biofuels: A Review
(Catalysts, 2020-12-28)
Over the last decades, microalgal biomass has gained a significant role in the development of different high-end (nutraceuticals, colorants, food supplements, and pharmaceuticals) and lowend products (biodiesel, bioethanol, ...
Design of an Electroflotation System for the Concentration and Harvesting of Freshwater Microalgae
(Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018-05)
Microalgae are considered as one of the most promising alternatives for the integrated use of agro-industrial water residues and the production of metabolites of high industrial interest. This is due to algae can grow on ...
Enhancement of Phycobiliprotein Accumulation in Thermotolerant Oscillatoria sp. through Media Optimization
(ACS Omega, 2021-04-12)
Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are a group of brilliant pigment proteins found in cyanobacteria and red algae; their synthesis and accumulation depend on several factors such as the type of strain employed, nutrient concentration, ...
Vinasse as a Sustainable Medium for the Production of Chlorella vulgaris UTEX 1803
(Water, 2019-07-24)
This study investigates distillery wastewater, commonly known as vinasse, as a potential culture medium for the production of Chlorella vulgaris and its most relevant metabolites. The effect of vinasse concentration on the ...
Environmental Footprint of Inland Fisheries: Integrating LCA Analysis to Assess the Potential of Wastewater-Based Microalga Cultivation as a Promising Solution for Animal Feed Production
(Processes, 2023-11-20)
This study evaluated the environmental impacts of producing 1 kg of biomass for animal
feed grown in inland fisheries effluents as a culture medium using the ReCiPe method. Four scenarios
with two downstream alternatives ...
