Concentration data of veterinary drugs in microalgae biomass collected from photobioreactors fed with piggery wastewaters are presented for the first time this work. To aim, a QuEChERS methodology and an ultrasound-assisted solid-liquid extraction have been assessed as sample preparation procedures purpose determining 20 drugs, mainly antibiotics different physico-chemical properties addition t...

Article Type: Full Length Research Article Microalgae have the potential to produce enough biofuels to meet current US fuel demands. In order to achieve this potential, photobioreactors (PBRs) that are efficient, scalable, and affordable need to be developed. Models are an analytical tool that can be used to evaluate various PBRs. In this article, a physics-based dynamic model was developed for...

CO(2) sequestration by cyanobacteria and green algae are receiving increased attention in alleviating the impact of increasing CO(2) in the atmosphere. They, in addition to CO(2) capture, can produce renewable energy carriers such as carbon free energy hydrogen, bioethanol, biodiesel and other valuable biomolecules. Biological fixation of CO(2) are greatly affected by the characteristics of the...
