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 ... -

Master thesis
Open AccessEl projecte abarcarà el disseny detalladat d'un fotofermentador per a una producció anual determinada d'una microalga de interés per a la industria biotecnològica. Es considera la possibilitat de fer proves de laboratori ... -
Diseño de un tanque no aireado para el cultivo de macroalgas: aplicación al tratamiento de agua de un sistema de recirculación acuícola
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2013-07)
Bachelor thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionLos biofiltros con algas han demostrado su utilidad en el tratamiento de los efluentes de tanques de cultivo de peces y pueden ser integrados en sistemas de recirculación acuícola. La mayoría de los sistemas de cultivo de ... -
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 ... -
Microalgae conversion to biogas: Thermal pretreatment contribution on net energy production
(2014-06-17)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicroalgal biomass harvested from wastewater treatment high rate algal ponds may be valorised through anaerobic digestion producing biogas. However, microalgae anaerobic biodegradability is limited by their complex cell ... -
Microalgae production in wastewater treatment systems, anaerobic digestion and modelling using ADM1
(2015-07-01)
Article
Open AccessAn integrated microalgae-based system for urban wastewater treatment, microalgae production and bioenergy generation through anaerobic digestion was evaluated over a period of one year. The pilot HRAP was effective at ... -
Polymer accumulation in mixed cyanobacterial cultures selected under the feast and famine strategy
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this study, a sequencing batch reactor (SBR), operated with transient carbon availability (feast and famine) and different nutrients loads, was used to select cyanobacteria accumulating poly (3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHB) ... -
Ulva ohnoi (Ulvales, Chlorophyta) as a biofilter in IMTA-RAS systems: influence of nitrogen and phosphorous levels in its development
(2017)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present study aims to gain knowledge about the influence of the concentrations of these nutrients and their possible interactions in the development of Ulva ohnoi, the selected species in this project
