Primary Factors Affecting Growth of Microalgae Optimal Light Exposure Duration and Frequency
<p>To cultivate more microalgae and at the same time optimize the land use, the optimal light exposure duration and frequency are important factors in the design a photobioreactor which contained two parts was tested. One part of the PBR was exposed to the light, while another part of the PBR was …

Persistent pharmaceutical concentrations in an urban Western Cape Estuary and the effects on microalgal assemblages
… experimentally to understand the responses of microalgae biomass. An experiment was conducted as the consequences of pharmaceutical pollution on functionally important estuarine biota such as sandprawns and the functions they provide including biofiltration in South African estuaries are, to …

Phycoremediation using botryococcus sp. as nutrients removal in organic wastewaters coupled with hydrocarbon production
… of the study is to produce the hydrocarbon from microalgae, Botryococcus sp. combined with phycoremediation of domestic wastewater (DW) and food processing wastewater (FW). The Botryococcus sp. locally isolated from the tropical rainforest. The optimisation study proved that the Botryococcus sp. …

Anaerobic Co-digestion of Microalgae with Food Waste and Wastewater Sludge
… sought to optimize anaerobic co-digestion of microalgae biomass harvested from a wastewater treatment pond facility with locally-available wastes. The goal was to produce high methane yields and stable digestion without the need for supplemental alkalinity addition. A key research question was …
