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

Heterotrophic growth of Chlorella vulgaris on crude glycerol

Gougoulias N., Metsoviti M., Grigoriou M., Lamprakopoulos S., Besios A., (Corresponding) Papapolymerou G.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

The heterotrophic growth of C. vulgaris using crude glycerol as the sole carbon source was studied in five 5L flasks. Air in each flask was provided at a rate of 300 L/hr and the contents were continuously stirred with a magnetic bar. Temperature, pH and initial inorganic nutrients (nitrogen,...Read more

Production and characterization of microalgal biomass from dairy wastewater

Iliopoulou A., Zkeri E., Panara A., Dasenaki M., Aloupi M., Fountoulakis M., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

During the last decade, a large scientific effort has been directed towards the cultivation of microalgae in dairy wastewater. Among different microalgal species, Chlorella sorokiniana is a small, fast-growing, robust microalgae that can be grown under mixotrophic conditions. In the current study,...Read more

The potential impact of an implementation of microalgae-based wastewater treatment on the energy balance of a municipal WWTP in Central Europe

(Corresponding) Hasport N., Krahe D., Kuchendorf C., Theilen U., Beier S.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

The integration of a photobioreactor for wastewater treatment by microalgae is proposed as a future alternative for cost-efficient and environmentally friendly nitrogen and phosphorous removal in municipal WWTPs. The high growth rates and higher biogas yields (compared to conventional sewage sludge...Read more

Evaluation of the potential of four microalgal-bacterial symbiotic association on wastewater treatment and lipid accumulation

Talapatra K., Mittal V., (Corresponding) Ghosh U., Gautam R.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Microalgae-bacteria symbiotic systems have demonstrated greater benefits over the pure culture of microalgae. The existence of certain bacteria will increase the quality of sewage purification and also reduce the associated high capital cost for maintaining the pure culture of microalgae. In this...Read more

Microalgae biomass cultivation and harvesting optimization in biological carbon capture and utilization systems for biofuels production

(Corresponding) Senatore V., Zarra T., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Napodano P., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

The boosting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere due to anthropogenic activity contributes significantly to climate change. According to the Green Deal by 2050, net zero greenhouse gas emissions must be achieved. Therefore, actions are needed in order to control GHG emissions. The...Read more
