Recovery of rare earth elements from luminophores using the red alga Galdieria
Čížková M., Bišová K., Zachleder V., Mezricky D., Rucki M., (Corresponding) Vítová M.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
The red alga Galdieria phlegrea was used as an experimental organism to test bioaccumulation of rare earth elements (REEs) from luminophores. Algal cells were cultured mixotrophically in a liquid medium with addition of glycerol as a source of carbon. Luminophores from two different sources (...Read more

Odorous gases monitoring on industrial sites and algae decomposition using Cairsens smart sensors
(Corresponding) BEN DAOUD A., Laplagne J., AKIKI R., AFLALO S. S.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
The appearance of natural odors sources (Sargassum beaching events) or odors generated by the human activity (integration of industrial sites in increasing urban environment and residential encroachment into previously non-resident areas) represent a major challenge for municipalities. Combined...Read more
Red Mud as a Secondary Source of Scarce Metals - Recovery using Red Microalgae
Náhlík V., Čížková M., Singh A., Bišová K., Mezricky D., Rucki M., (Corresponding) Vítová M.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Red mud is a by-product of the production of alumina from bauxite ore. Less than 2% of the red mud produced is currently being reused. The red mud contains a number of residual elements, some at a considerable concentration. The red microalga Galdieria sulphuraria was used to test the accumulation...Read more

Untargeted screening analysis for mycosporines and mycosporine-like amino-acids in algae by mass spectrometry
(Corresponding) Parailloux M., Godin S., C.M. Fernandes S., Lobinski R.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Mycosporines and mycosporine-like amino acids have been described as natural sunscreens and antioxidant compounds presenting a great potential for health and cosmetic applications. Herein, an untargeted screening approach for mycosporines and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) was developed by the...Read more

Monitoring the algae biomass growth developed on hollow fiber membrane bioreactor
Novoa A., (Corresponding) Luca F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This work focuses on using non-destructive imaging techniques to monitor in-situ the formation of algae biomass on hollow fiber membrane bioreactor treating wastewater. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was employed to acquire cross-sectional scans of the algae growth in real-time under continuous...Read more
