Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the potential of microalgae for new biotechnology applications and beyond: A review

TL;DR: This study concludes that sustained research funding, and a shift of microalgae focus from biofuels production to bio-refinery co-products can qualify them as promising feedstocks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global risk of pharmaceutical contamination from highly populated developing countries

TL;DR: Several prospective research hypotheses including the development of new analytical methods to monitor these PCs/TPs and their metabolites, highly resistant microbial strains, and mixture toxicity as a consequence of pharmaceutical contamination in these emerging pharmaceutical exporters have also been proposed based on the available literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioremediation of textile wastewater and successive biodiesel production using microalgae

TL;DR: This study has reviewed the status of TWW as potential source of water and nutrients, role of different algal species in the bioremediation of TwW, different cultivation systems, harvesting and biodiesel production methods, and suggests future research and development challenges for coupled textile wastewater treatment and microalgal biodieselproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption of Brilliant Green dye from aqueous solution onto red clay

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of experimental factors such as pH (2-10), particle size (58-150μm), adsorbent dose (0.3-1.5), contact time (5-1500min), initial dye concentration (20-100mg/L), and temperature (25-65°C) on the adsorption of Brilliant Green (BG) dye was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current status, issues and developments in microalgae derived biodiesel production

TL;DR: The overall process of biofuels production from microalgae with a particular emphasis on biodiesel is reviewed, including species isolation, species selection, cultivation, harvesting, and oil extraction.
