Currently, air pollution is being exacerbated by rapid social, economic, and industrial development. Major pollutants include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) CO. Photocatalytic thermocatalytic technology can be used to convert VOCs CO into harmless gases effectively. Recently, photothermal synergistic catalysis has aroused much attention because of its higher performance than those individual...

The growth and on-site bioremediation potential of an isolated thermal- and CO₂-tolerant mutant strain, Chlorella sp. MTF-7, were investigated. The Chlorella sp. MTF-7 cultures were directly aerated with the flue gas generated from coke oven of a steel plant. The biomass concentration, growth rate and lipid content of Chlorella sp. MTF-7 cultured in an outdoor 50-L photobioreactor for 6 days wa...

Abstract The present work demonstrates the new nanofiber mats prepared through co-electrospinning of two different polymers i.e. corn protein namely Zein and Nylon-6. composite membrane was used as an effective adsorbent material for removal toxic reactive dye Reactive Blue 19 (RB19) from water solution. These co-electrospun nanofibers had good mechanical strength compared to zein alone. Experi...

Abstract: Co-cultivation of microalgae and microbes for pollutant removal from sewage is considered as an effective wastewater treatment method. The aim of this study is to screen the optimal photoperiod, light intensity and microalgae co-cultivation method for simultaneously removing nutrients in biogas slurry and capturing CO₂ in biogas. The microalgae-fungi pellets are deemed to be a viable ...
