The potential of native microalgae consortia to remove pharmaceutical compounds...

Wastewater treatment plants play a key role in the release of pharmaceuticals and other contaminants into the aquatic environment, causing negative effects on the ecosystems of receiving water bodies. This work aimed to assess the removal efficiency of real loads of these contaminants by wastewater-native microalgae consortia acting on treated wastewater previously subjected to secondary treatment. Wastewater s...

Are native microalgae consortia able to remove microplastics from wastewater ef...

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are potential sources of microplastics (MPs) in the aquatic environment. This study aimed to investigate the potential of wastewater-native microalgae consortia to remove MPs from the effluent of two different types of WWTPs as a dual-purpose solution for MPs mitigation and biomass production. For that purpose, the occurrence of MPs from two types of WWTP effluents was analys...

Valorization of microalgal biomass in a biorefinery perspective

A valorização da biomassa de microalgas verdes foi avaliada e melhorada, utilizando como modelo a microalga verde não-axénica Chlorella sorokiniana para a caracterização do perfil de pigmentos e ácidos gordos presentes. Foi efetuada a avaliação de diferentes solventes para a extração de pigmentos, incluindo solventes verdes, ou seja, menos prejudiciais para o ambiente, tal como a extração sequencial de ácidos g...

Chemical and physical pretreatments of microalgal biomass

Non-axenic microalga Chlorella sorokiniana was cultivated in batch cultures, and its total sugar composition was determined. The microalga under study showed a total sugar concentration of 21.44 ± 0.46% (w/w). The effects of freeze-drying, oven-drying, freezing and thawing, chemical and the combination of hydrothermal and chemical pretreatments were evaluated. In the combined pretreatment different concentratio...
