Microalgae: A sustainable adsorbent with high potential for upconcentration of indium(iii) from liquid process and waste streams
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020-03-21)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIndium (In) is a critical raw material heavily demanded in the optical-electronics industry. With its high supply risk, sustainable technologies are needed to recover In(III) from secondary sources, such as leachates from ... -
A critical review of resource recovery from municipal wastewater treatment plants-market supply potentials, technologies and bottlenecks
(2020-04-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn recent decades, academia has elaborated a wide range of technological solutions to recover water, energy, fertiliser and other products from centralised municipal wastewater treatment plants. Drivers for this ... -
Organic matter removal and nitrogen transformation by a constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell system with simultaneous bioelectricity generation
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicrobial fuel cells integrated into constructed wetlands have been previously studied. Nevertheless, their application as a suitable treatment for wastewater is still in the developmental stage. In this context, the ... -
Natural pigments and biogas recovery from microalgae grown in wastewater
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020-07)
Article
Open AccessThis study assessed the recovery of natural pigments (phycobiliproteins) and bioenergy (biogas) from microalgae grown in wastewater. A consortium of microalgae, mainly composed by Nostoc, Phormidium, and Geitlerinema, known ... -
Assessing the potential of soil cyanobacteria for simultaneous wastewater treatment and carbohydrate-enriched biomass production
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this study, a mixed nitrogen-fixing soil cyanobacterial culture was tested to treat municipal wastewater and produce total carbohydrates in a one-stage operation. Four photobioreactors were operated in semi-continuous ... -
Carbon footprint of constructed wetlands for winery wastewater treatment
(2020-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this study was to estimate the carbon footprint (CFP) of constructed wetlands for winery wastewater treatment. In particular, a constructed wetland scenario was compared to the previous scenario (third-party ... -
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), ... -
Bioremediation of emerging micropollutants in irrigation water: the alternative of microalgae-based treatments
(2020-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present study evaluated the efficiency of a semi-closed horizontal tubular photobioreactor (PBR) at demonstrative scale to remove a total of 35 target compounds, including benzotriazoles, benzophenones, antibiotics and ... -
Selenate and selenite uptake, accumulation and toxicity in Lemna minuta
(2020-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe kinetics of Se uptake and toxicity to Lemna were studied over a period of 14 days of exposure to Se(IV) or Se(VI). The growth of Lemna stopped immediately after exposure to 5.0 mg/L of Se(IV) or Se(VI). The content of ... -
Bioremediation of aquaculture wastewater with the microalgae Tetraselmis suecica: Semi-continuous experiments, simulation and photo-respirometric tests
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTetraselmis 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 ... -
Microalgae-based bioremediation of water contaminated by pesticides in peri-urban agricultural areas
(2020-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present study evaluated the capacity of a semi-closed, tubular horizontal photobioreactor (PBR) to remove pesticides from agricultural run-off. The study was carried out in summer (July) to study its efficiency under ... -
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 ...
