Outdoor Cultivation of the Biodiesel Promising Microalga Scenedesmus obliquus in Municipal Wastewater: A Case Study
Despite the promising research findings on microalgae as a feedstock for biodiesel, reduction of its production cost is still a challenge. One possible solution to overcome this problem is outdoor biomass production using wastewater as a growth medium. The present study aimed to evaluate the climate key parameters for Scenedesmus obliquus outdoor biomass production during different seasons, as ...
متن کاملWaste utilization and biodiesel production by the green microalga Scenedesmus obliquus.
Scenedesmus obliquus was cultivated in three types of waste discharges to couple waste treatment with biodiesel production. The lipid pool accumulation was boosted to 1.0 g liter(-1) against 0.1 g liter(-1) for the control. The waste-grown S. obliquus showed an increase in the content of the saturated fatty acid pool, which is desirable for good-quality biodiesel.
متن کاملPhosphate and nitrate removal from municipal wastewater by algae Scenedesmus obliquus cultivation and production of algal biomass
Nitrate and phosphate are abundant in urban wastewater. We evaluated the efficiency of nitrate and phosphate removal from wastewater by Scenedesmus obliquus and its use as a medium for Scenedesmus obliquus. Samples were collected from the effluent of central wastewater treatment in Gorgan. This experiment was done by 3 treatments and 6 replications that effluent with 100%, 50% and 0% were dilut...
متن کاملMolasses wastewater treatment and lipid production at low temperature conditions by a microalgal mutant Scenedesmus sp. Z-4
BACKGROUND Simultaneous wastewater treatment and lipid production by oleaginous microalgae show great potential to alleviate energy shortage and environmental pollution, because they exhibit tremendous advantages over traditional activated sludge. Currently, most research on wastewater treatment by microalgal are carried out at optimized temperature conditions (25-35 °C), but no information abo...
متن کاملGrowth and fatty acid characterization of microalgae isolated from municipal waste-treatment systems and the potential role of algal-associated bacteria in feedstock production.
Much research has focused on growing microalgae for biofuel feedstock, yet there remain concerns about the feasibility of freshwater feedstock systems. To reduce cost and improve environmental sustainability, an ideal microalgal feedstock system would be fed by municipal, agricultural or industrial wastewater as a main source of water and nutrients. Nonetheless, the microalgae must also be tole...
