(2019-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicroalgae biorefineries for the production of biofuels and high-value products have captured the attention of academia and industry. Implementing an anaerobic digestion step can enhance resource recovery from microalgae ... -
The use of magnetic iron oxide based nanoparticles to improve microalgae harvesting in real wastewater
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA novel approach for harvesting Scenedesmus sp. microalgae from real wastewater by using adsorbents of magnetite-based nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) was tested in this study for the first time for this microalgae. Using these ... -
Co-digestion of microalgae and primary sludge: effect on biogas production and microcontaminants removal
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicroalgal-based wastewater treatment plants are conceived as low cost and low energy consuming systems. The operation of these plants involves the management of primary sludge and microalgal biomass. The aim of this study ... -
Influence of liquid-to-biogas ratio and alkalinity on the biogas upgrading performance in a demo scale algal-bacterial photobioreactor
(2019-05)
Article
Open AccessThe influence of the liquid-to-biogas ratio (L/G) and alkalinity on methane quality was evaluated in a 11.7 m3 outdoors horizontal semi-closed tubular photobioreactor interconnected to a 45-L absorption column (AC). CO2 ... -
