Removal of contaminants of emerging concern from urban wastewater in novel algal-bacterial photobioreactors.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
This work evaluates the removal of five pharmaceuticals and personal care products, i.e., ibuprofen, naproxen, salicylic acid, triclosan and propylparaben, from urban wastewater under two novel algal-bacterial photobioreactor settings.

A CFD-VOF based model to address intensive photobioreactor design [PDF]

, 2016
The design and optimization of photobioreactors for intensive microalgal cultures are key issues to increase process performance. A model to assess the photosynthetic performance of tubular, bubble column and flat photobioreactors is presented.

Commercial Applications of Microalgae [PDF]

, 2006
The first use of microalgae by humans dates back 2000 years to the Chinese, who used Nostoc to survive during famine. However, microalgal biotechnology only really began to develop in the middle of the last century.

Life Cycle Assessment of Phycocyanin Food Colorant Production from Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) with Biostimulant Waste-Stream Utilization for Soil Carbon Sequestration to Achieve Net Carbon Removal

Foods
This study introduces a novel approach to producing carbon-negative food ingredients by integrating phycocyanin extraction from Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) with the application of its residual biomass as a biostimulant for soil organic carbon (SOC)
