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

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

Condensate originating from household food waste as a substrate for Microbial Fuel Cells

Kamperidis T., Pandis P., Vlachaki E., (Corresponding) Tremouli A., Lyberatos G.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioreactor that converts the chemical energy of the bonds of organic compounds to electrical energy, through the catalytic reactions of microorganisms. Under anaerobic conditions various substrates have been examined using MFC technology. This study examines the...Read more

The effect of catalysts MnO2, activated carbon and fly ash on the performance of single-chamber Microbial Fuel Cells

(Corresponding) Tremouli A., Kamperidis T., Pandis P., Stathopoulos V., Ieropoulos I., Argirusis C., Lyberatos G.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are bioelectrochemical systems that convert the chemical energy contained in waste to electricity, using bacteria as catalysts. In order to boost the power output of MFCs, various approaches are feasible. This study examines the effect of using MnO2, activated carbon and...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
