Journal ArticleDOI
A hetero-photoautotrophic two-stage cultivation process to improve wastewater nutrient removal and enhance algal lipid accumulation
Wenguang Zhou,Min Min,Yecong Li,Bing Hu,Xiaochen Ma,Yanling Cheng,Yuhuan Liu,Paul Chen,Roger Ruan +8 more
TL;DR: A hetero-photoautotrophic algal growth model was studied for improved wastewater treatment and low cost algal biofuel feedstock production and can be used to treat organic-rich wastewaters (e.g. industrial and animal manure wastewater) to achieve the dual purpose of low-cost wastewater treatment
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Egg whites had the lowest aromatic yield among the model compounds under all reaction conditions, which suggests that proteins can hardly be converted to aromatics with HZSM-5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environment-enhancing algal biofuel production using wastewaters
Wenguang Zhou,Paul Chen,Min Min,Xiaochen Ma,Jinghan Wang,Richard Griffith,Fida Hussain,Pu Peng,Qinglong Xie,Yun Li,Jian Shi,Jianzong Meng,Roger Ruan +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the current status of this specific niche research area covering utilization of different types of wastewaters as media for algae cultivation, microalgae selection, bioreactor type, cultivation mode, environmental factors and operational parameters as well as harvesting techniques and production of a broad spectrum of bio-energy and byproducts through various conversion pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of wastewater-borne bacteria on algal growth and nutrients removal in wastewater-based algae cultivation system
Xiaochen Ma,Xiaochen Ma,Wenguang Zhou,Zongqiang Fu,Yanling Cheng,Min Min,Yuhuan Liu,Yunkai Zhang,Paul Chen,Roger Ruan +9 more
TL;DR: The results showed that initial algal concentration had apparent effect on bacterial growth, and the presence of bacteria had a significant influence on algal growth pattern, suggesting symbiotic relationship between algae and bacteria at the initial stage of algae cultivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growing wastewater-born microalga Auxenochlorella protothecoides UMN280 on concentrated municipal wastewater for simultaneous nutrient removal and energy feedstock production
Wenguang Zhou,Yecong Li,Min Min,Bing Hu,Hong Zhang,Xiaochen Ma,Liang Li,Yanling Cheng,Paul Chen,Roger Ruan +9 more
TL;DR: A newly isolated facultative heterotrophic freshwater microalgae strain, Auxenochlorella protothecoides UMN280, was examined for algal growth, wastewater nutrient removal efficiency, and lipid accumulation in batch and semi-continuous cultivation with various hydraulic retention time using concentrated municipal wastewater (CMW) as cultivation media as mentioned in this paper.
