Dairy wastewater as growth substrate for biomass and biocompound production by Spirulina platensis

Escolà Oliva G., Zapata López D., Aristizábal Castrillón A., (Corresponding) Arroyave Quiceno C., Poschenrieder C., (Corresponding) Llugany Ollé M.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Spirulina former Arthrospira is a Cyanobacteria with economic applications in agriculture, biofuel production and wastewater management. In order to evaluate the suitability of organic carbon containing wastewater for the production of biomass and biocompounds by Spirulina platensis (UTEX) strain...Read more

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
