The aim of this study was the investigation of non-destructive lipid extraction from Chlorella vulgaris grown under stress conditions of nutrient limitation and salinity. To select a suitable solvent for extraction, the performances of decane, dodecane and hexadecane were tested based on their effect on lipid extraction and cell viability. The...

Two new highly-efficient and eco-friendly biosorbents comprised of magnetite, chitosan and Chlorella vulgaris (MCC) or Arthrospira platensis (MCA) were prepared in such a way to be easily separated and reused for removing different classes of antibiotics such as tetracycline (TC), ciprofloxacin (CIP) and amoxicillin (AMX) from wastewater. They...

The rapid development of urbanization and industrialization leads to the production of large amounts of wastewater all over the world, which could be exploited to grow microalgae, thereby reducing their cultivation costs and making biofuel production more feasible. In this research work, a co-culture of Chlorella vulgaris and Arthrospira...

Raw date palm waste was investigated as an adsorbent to remove tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water. Influence of pH, biosorbent dose, starting antibiotic concentration, contact time, temperature, and concentrations of different salts were examined. The pseudo-second-order model provided the best fit to the experimental data,...
