Algae decay is an important process influencing environmental variables and emissions of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) in eutrophic lakes. However, effects of algae decay on VSC emissions from eutrophic lakes as well as fate of algae-derived sulfur remain poorly understood. In this study,...

New treatment steps are needed to better remove nutrients from WWTP effluents to prevent further eutrophication of the receiving waterbodies. Algae can be used to remove nutrients from effluent, but the subsequent removal of the algae biomass remains a challenge. Employing the high filtration...

Algae are potential renewable energy source that provides numerous types of biofuels. Traditional methods of algae harvesting involve high electrical energy in the range of 200-5000 watt-hour for collecting per kilogram of algae. Moreover the added chemicals during the harvesting process degrade...

In recent decades, many inland lakes have seen an increase in the prevalence of potentially harmful algae. In many inland lakes, the peak season for algae abundance (summer and early fall in the northern hemisphere) coincides with the peak season for recreational use. Currently, little information...

Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) are damaging to ecosystem functions and pose challenges to environmental and fisheries management. The key to HAB management and understanding the complex algal growth dynamics is the development of robust systems for real-time monitoring of algae populations and species. ...

Algae-bacteria consortia treatment has been found to be a promising method for the remediation of aqueous systems. Given the scope of previous reviews on algae-bacteria interactions, the sections on chemical signaling between algae and bacteria don't cover the current knowledge gap, and recent...

Introdaction: Heavy metals are one of the most important environmental contaminants, particularly in soil and water sources. Mining and metal mining activities are major factors in soil contamination and generally surface soil around mines contain high amounts of these metals. Lead (Pb) is one of...

Outbreaks of periphytic algae, including filamentous algae, have been observed after submerged macrophyte restoration and are common in early stages. Dynamic changes in the periphytic algae community on Vallisneria natans and artificial V. natans were investigated in situ, and their characteristics ...

Macroalgae are one of various groups of multicellular algae include some types of Rhodophyta (red), Phaeophyta (brown), and Chlorophyta (green) macroalgae. They are now a source for biorefineries, as they contribute to energy production as biomass. Algae are worth noting because of their high...

To increase wastewater treatment efficiency and biofuel production, seven microalgae were mixed with activated sludge in batch bioreactors. Based on batch results, two microalgae (Chlamydomonas and Selenastrum) and their mixture were inoculated into conventional-membrane-bioreactors (CMBRs) to...
