LED light tailoring in a planar photobioreactor for optimization of microalgae growth.

(Corresponding) Riggio V., Occhipinti A., Grinic D., Zanetti M.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Microalgae are well known for their potential in producing valuable substances for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as a source of biofuel. Currently, the use of the photosynthetic capacity of microalgae is a new alternative for carbon dioxide bio-fixation. Therefore, the...Read more

Pyrolysis of Spirulina sp. Microalgae: Effect of Temperature on Chemical Compositions of Bio-Oil and Aqueous Phase

(Corresponding) Özçakır G., Karaduman A.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Pyrolysis of Spirulina sp. Microalgae was carried out in a semi-batch glass reactor system. Effect of temperature on the yields of pyrolytic products (gaseous, liquid and solid residue) and chemical composition of the liquid products were investigated. All experiments were performed in 25 mL/min...Read more

Bio-scrubber coupled with ozonation for enhanced VOCs abatement

(Corresponding) Senatore V., Oliva G., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are toxic for the environment and human health and their tendency to readily volatilize in the atmosphere leads to problems connected to odours annoyance. The conventional treatments for VOCs gaseous emissions conventionally entail the application of chemical-...Read more

Production of added-value metabolites during growth of wild-type yeast strains on media composed of biodiesel-derived crude glycerol

Diamantopoulou P., Filippousi R., Sarantou S., Stoforos N., Xenopoulos E., (Corresponding) Papanikolaou S.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Wild-type yeast strains of Metschnikowia sp., Rhodotorula sp. and Rhodosporidium sp. were grown under nitrogen-limited conditions with crude glycerol employed as sole substrate in shake flasks, under nitrogen-limited conditions, with initial glycerol concentration (Glol0) ≈45 g/L. Yeasts presented...Read more

Biorefinery model for the production of biofuels and bioproducts from lignocellulosic biomass

Vela-García N., (Corresponding) Bolonio D., J. Chuck C., García-Martínez M.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

This work studies advanced biofuel and biomaterials production using lignocellulosic biomass from poplar crops. In this sense, lignocellulosic biomass transformation into biojet fuel, bioLPG, green diesel and High-Density Polyethylene (HPDE) was studied through an exhaustive evaluation, including a...Read more
