Microalgae Biotechnology in Integrated Processes
Journal Title: Journal of Chemical Engineering & Process Technology - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
The bio-based processes have been an essential support in the consolidation of new technologies in the industry. The current scenario for the use of more sustainable production methods, i.e., with a lower carbon and water footprint, dependence on fossil fuels and energy, more efficient and economical, further highlight the role that biological and chemical industries can play in this field

Adsorptive Recovery of Gold (III) from Acidic Chloride Media Using Carbonized Microalgal Residue
Adsorption gel was prepared by carbonizing a residual waste of microalgae generated in the biofuel conversion process. The prepared gel exhibited high affinity and selectivity for Au (III) over other precious and base me...
Optical Properties and Quantum-Chemical Calculations of Various Bithienyl Derivatives of Benzene, Triazine and Triphenyltriazine as Organic Light Emitting Diodes
Today, most technologies used to fractionate plant materials are based on expensive chemical processes that often have negative environmental impacts by consuming water, energy, and solvents and creating large quantities...
Meta-Xylene Removal from Aqueous Solution Using Surfactant-Modified Bentonite: A Kinetic View
The bentonite used was a natural calcium bentonite from Enugu State, Nigeria. This was treated with Na2CO3 by ion exchange method to form a sodium bentonite described as unmodified bentonite (UB). Unmodified bentonite wa...
Characteristics of Trimethoprim Adsorption on Attapulgite Iraqi Clay
Adsorption characteristics of trimethoprim medicine were determined using Attapulgite an Iraqi clay of 75 μm grain particle size in order to verify its capability as a poison antidote, adsorption process was very adequat...
Experimental and Numerical Study of Multiphase Mixing Hydrodynamics in Batch Stirred Tank Applied to Ammoniacal Thiosulphate Leaching of Gold
Hydrodynamics of aerated slurry is studied experimentally and numerically using the example of thiosulphate leaching of gold concentrate. The studied milled concentrate has shear-thinning fluid rheology and it was imitat...
