Anaerobic co-digestion of microalgal biomass and wheat straw with and without thermo-alkaline pretreatment
(2017-08)
Article
Open AccessThis study aimed at analyzing the anaerobic co-digestion of microalgal biomass grown in wastewater and wheat straw. To this end, Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) tests were carried out testing different substrate ... -
Anaerobic digestion of microalgal biomass after ultrasound pretreatment
(2014-11-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyHigh rate algal ponds are an economic and sustainable alternative for wastewater treatment, where microalgae and bacteria grow in symbiosis removing organic matter and nutrients. Microalgal biomass produced in these systems ... -
Anàlisi del cicle de vida de llacunes d’alta càrrega per a la depuració d’aigües residuals i la recuperació d’energia i nutrients
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-06)
Master thesis
Open AccessLes llacunes d'alta càrrega constitueixen un sistema de depuració d'aigües residuals mitjançant cultius d'algues, que no requereixen aeració del reactor, a diferència dels sistemes convencionals de fangs activats. Ambdós ... -

Assessment of the mechanisms involved in the removal of emerging contaminants by microalgae from wastewater: a laboratory scale study
(2016-01)
Article
Open AccessAerated batch reactors (2.5 L) fed either with urban or synthetic wastewater were inoculated with microalgae (dominated by Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp.) to remove caffeine, ibuprofen, galaxolide, tributyl phosphate, ... -
Behavior of UV filters, uv blockers and pharmaceuticals in high rate algal ponds treating urban wastewater
(2020-10)
Article
Open AccessThe present study evaluated the efficiency of a high rate algal pond (HRAP) at pilot scale to remove pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) from urban wastewater, including UV-filters and parabens (10), ... -
Biodiesel from microalgae
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-02)
Master thesis (pre-Bologna period)
Open AccessIn this project we will travel back in time to the nineteenth century to discover the inventor of the diesel engine, Rudolf Diesel, and his renewable fuel vision that is only now being realized. Biodiesel has received ... -

Biogas production from algae biomass grown in high rate ponds for wastewater treatment
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyers de Camins Canals i Ports de Barcelona, 2011-11-15)
Conference lecture
Open AccessHigh rate ponds are wastewater treatment systems that combine heterotrophic bacteria and microalgae communities in a symbiosis relation, which triggers a series of reactions that eliminates pollutants from the water. ... -
Bioplastic production by harnessing cyanobacteria-rich microbiomes for long-term synthesis
(Elsevier, 2024-12)
Article
Open AccessDeparting from the conventional axenic and heterotrophic cultures, our research ventures into unexplored territory by investigating the potential of photosynthetic microbiomes for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis, a ... -
Bioremediation of agricultural runoff and biopolymers production from cyanobacteria cultured in demonstrative full-scale photobioreactors

Open AccessThe present work evaluated polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and carbohydrates production by wastewater borne cyanobacteria at demonstrative-scale (three photobioreactors (PBR) of 11.7 m3 each), using agricultural runoff as ... -
Bioremediation of aquaculture wastewater with the microalgae Tetraselmis suecica: Semi-continuous experiments, simulation and photo-respirometric tests
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Article
Open AccessTetraselmis suecica was cultivated in a semi-continuously operated tubular photobioreactor fed on aquaculture wastewater (AW) testing two hydraulic retention times (HRT): 10 and 7 days (RUN_1 and RUN_2, respectively). The ... -
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 ... -
Challenges, progress, and future perspectives for cyanobacterial polyhydroxyalkanoate production
(Springer, 2024-06)
Article
Open AccessPolyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a promising bio-based alternative to traditional plastics derived from petroleum. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic organisms that produce PHA from CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and sunlight, which ... -
