Selenium accumulation in unicellular photosynthetic algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Thalassiosira weissflogii grown in Se-contaminated media
Zkeri E., Mavrakis E., Pergantis S., (Corresponding) Lydakis-Simantiris N.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The objective of this study was to investigate the accumulation of Se (IV) and Se (VI) and their effect on the growth of two unicellular photosynthetic algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Thalassiosira weissflogii. For this purpose, a cell growth rate experiment was conducted, in nutrient media...Read more

Application of electrochemical peroxidation with nanoscale zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) for selenium removal from oil refinery wastewater
Hansen M., Gutiérrez C., Lazo A., Lazo P., (Corresponding) Hansen H.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This study uses the electrochemical peroxidation process to remove selenium in combination with nanoscale zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) as the iron source. Also, experiments with just the addition of the nZVI doses without current application were carried out. The nanoparticles were synthesized...Read more
Removal Of Selenium From Polluted Water By Fexoy-Sucrose Foams
Lopez-Toyos L., Rodríguez E., Garcia R., Martinez-Tarazona M., (Corresponding) Lopez-Anton M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
A series of iron-based carbon foams were evaluated as adsorbents for selenium removal from aqueous solutions. The carbon foams were prepared using sucrose as a precursor and then impregnated with different iron oxides/hydroxides. The efficiency of iron-based sucrose foams was compared to that...Read more
