Abstract Background Stone wool is an inorganic mineral insulation material increasingly used to reduce the climate impact of buildings. The acute and chronic ecotoxicological potential stone eluates have been studied in a battery standardized laboratory tests. experiments were conducted with test materials fibrous milled form, without presence organic binder. For preparation eluates, OECD proto...

Three different microalgae species, Desmodesmus sp., Nannochloropsis oculata and Halamphora coffeaeformis were grown under controlled conditions. The resulting dry biomass was characterized by TG-DTA (thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis) extracted with three solvents having polarities. extracts gross mass yields varied from 2% using n-hexane to 23% (or 74% when subtracting the volati...

Industrial vegetable oil production in Viet Nam depends on oil seeds and crude plant oils that are currently more than 90% imported. As the first step in investigating the feasibility of using microalgae to provide Viet Nam with a domestic source of oil for food and edible oil industries, fifty lipid-producing microalgae were isolated and characterized. The microalgae were isolated from water s...

Microalgae contain high-value biochemical compounds including fatty acids (FA), protein and carotenoids, are promising bioresources to enhance nutrition of food animal feed. Important requirements for commercial strains rapid growth high productivities desirable compounds. As these traits believed be found in aquatic environments with fluctuating conditions, we collected microalgae from marine ...

BACKGROUND The performance of microalgal and bacterial systems devoted to wastewater treatment might be limited by the poor settling biomass inhibition nitrifying bacteria under high irradiance conditions. This work implemented a photo-sequencing batch bioreactor (PSBR) treating medium- low-strength wastewaters. impact short time on formation microalgal–bacterial aggregates (MABAs) was evaluate...

The interest in microalgae as a renewable and sustainable feedstock for biofuels production has inspired new focus biorefinery. Current innovations technology include the use of wastewater cultivation medium towards nutrients recovery, energy generation, well treatment. Though recent studies have favoured competitiveness such an approach, how to maintain high-quality microalgae-derived biofuel ...
