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

Tahir Fazal,Azeem Mushtaq,Fahad Rehman,Asad U. Khan,Asad U. Khan,Naim Rashid,Wasif Farooq,Muhammad Saif Ur Rehman,Muhammad Saif Ur Rehman,Muhammad Saif Ur Rehman,Jian Xu +10 more
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
Muhammad Saif Ur Rehman,Muhammad Saif Ur Rehman,Muhammad Munir,Muhammad Ashfaq,Naim Rashid,Naim Rashid,Muhammad Faizan Nazar,Muhammad Danish,Jong-In Han +8 more
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
Naim Rashid,Naim Rashid,Muhammad Saif Ur Rehman,Muhammad Saif Ur Rehman,Madeha Sadiq,Tariq Mahmood,Jong-In Han +6 more
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.
