Capability of microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems to remove emerging organic contaminants: A pilot-scale study
(2015-05-15)
Article
Open AccessThe effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and seasonality on the removal efficiency of 26 organic microcontaminants from urban wastewater was studied in two pilot high-rate algal ponds (HRAPs). The targeted compounds ... -
Comparing pretreatment methods for improving microalgae anaerobic digestion: Thermal, hydrothermal, microwave and ultrasound
(2015-11-01)
Article
Open AccessThe anaerobic digestion of microalgae is hindered by its complex cell wall structure and composition. Thus, several pretreatment methods have been used for increasing microalgae anaerobic biodegradability. Since the methane ... -
Control microbiológico de la macroalga Ulva ohnoi
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-09-05)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessIn the last few years the cultivation of seaweed around the world has increased; mainly the macroalgae, that are used for human food. The main reason is the high nutritional value of seaweed (proteins, fiber, vitamins and ... -

Bachelor thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThe main objective of this review was to find the best combination and proportion between the ingredients and their corresponding best rheological properties and printing parameters. Rheological properties of the commercial ... -
Harvesting microalgae from wastewater treatment systems with natural flocculants: Effect on biomass settling and biogas production
(2015-05-01)
Article
Open AccessResearch on new sources of bioenergy is nowadays driving attention to microalgae. Cost-effective biomass harvesting and thickening pose a challenge for massive microalgae production for biofuels. In this study, ... -
Impact of low temperature pretreatment on the anaerobic digestion of microalgal biomass
(2013-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low temperature pretreatment on the anaerobic digestion of microalgal biomass grown in wastewater. To this end, microalgae were pretreated at low temperatures (55, 75 ... -
Influence of hydrothermal pretreatment on microalgal biomass anaerobic digestion and bioenergy production
(2015-01-01)
Article
Open AccessMicroalgal biomass grown in wastewater treatment raceway ponds may be valorised producing bioenergy through anaerobic digestion. However, pretreatment techniques seem to be necessary for enhancing microalgae methane yield. ... -
Influence of starch on microalgal biomass recovery, settleability and biogas production
(2015-06-01)
Article
Open AccessIn the context of wastewater treatment with microalgae cultures, coagulation-flocculation followed by sedimentation is one of the suitable options for microalgae harvesting. This process is enabled by the addition of ... -
Manipulating Ulva-associated bacterial communities: a possible strategy for bacterial control in IMTA-RAS cultures?
(2017)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAs epibiotic communities in macroalgae may be randomly formed by functionally equivalent guild members present in the surrounding seawater, we hypothesize that experimental colonization of Ulva spp. with selected alg ... -
