Bioremediation of agricultural runoff and biopolymers production from cyanobacteria cultured in demonstrative full-scale photobioreactors
(2020-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe 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 ... -
Free ammonia inhibition in microalgae and cyanobacteria grown in wastewaters: photo-respirometric evaluation and modelling
(2020-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe inhibitory effects of free ammonia (FA) on microalgae/cyanobacteria in wastewater-treating photobioreactors (PBR) can strongly reduce their treatment efficiency, increasing the operational costs and undermining the ... -
Evaluation of daily and seasonal variations in a semi-closed photobioreactor for microalgae-based bioremediation of agricultural runoff at full-scale
(Elsevier, 2020-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicroalgae-based treatment systems are a suitable solution for agricultural wastewater treatment in order to tackle eutrophication. Valuable biomass can be produced in photobioreactors while removing nutrients from ... -
Improving domestic wastewater treatment efficiency with constructed wetland microbial fuel cells: influence of anode material and external resistance
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
Article
Open AccessFor the past few years, there has been an increasing interest in the operation of constructed wetlands as microbial fuel cells (CW-MFCs) for both the improvement of wastewater treatment efficiency and the production of ... -
Growth of Tetraselmis suecica and Dunaliella tertiolecta in aquaculture wastewater: numerical simulation with the BIO_ALGAE model
(2019-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study investigates and compares the uptake of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus) and the growth of Tetraselmis suecica and Dunaliella tertiolecta in aquaculture wastewater. The obtained data were used to implement and ... -
Constructed wetlands to solve agricultural drainage pollution in South Florida: development of an advanced simulation tool for design optimization
(2020-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyEutrophication is a widespread global scale pollution problem. Agricultural areas are generally the main contributors to eutrophication, whereas sewage and industrial discharges, which usually receive some treatment prior ... -
A review of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment: increasing removal with wetlands and reducing environmental impacts
(2020-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyEmerging organic contaminants (EOCs) include a diverse group of chemical compounds, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), pesticides, hormones, surfactants, flame retardants and plasticizers. Many of ... -
MFC-based biosensor for domestic wastewater COD assessment in constructed wetlands
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
Article
Open AccessIn the context of natural-based wastewater treatment technologies (such as constructed wetlands - CW) the use of a low-cost, continuous-like biosensor tool for the assessment of operational conditions is of key importance ... -
Can high rate algal ponds be used as post-treatment of UASB reactors to remove micropollutants?
(2020-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present study evaluated the removal capacity of a UASB-HRAP treatment system, combining anaerobic and microalgae-based, aerobic treatment, for eleven organic micropollutants present in raw sewage, including pharmaceuticals, ... -
Fate of priority pharmaceuticals and their main metabolites and transformation products in microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems
(2020-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present study evaluates the removal capacity of two high rate algae ponds (HRAPs) to eliminate 12 pharmaceuticals (PhACs) and 26 of their corresponding main metabolites and transformation products. The efficiency of ... -
Natural pigments from microalgae grown in industrial wastewater
(2020-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this study was to investigate the cultivation of Nostoc sp., Arthrospira platensis and Porphyridium purpureum in industrial wastewater to produce phycobiliproteins. Initially, light intensity and growth medium ... -
Pretreatment and co-digestion of microalgae, sludge and fat oil and grease (FOG) from microalgae-based wastewater treatment plants
(2020-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this study was to assess the co-digestion of residual biomass flows generated in microalgae-based wastewater treatment plants: microalgae, primary sludge and fat, oil and grease (FOG), with and without microalgae ...
