An effective semi-continuous process was developed to grow a locally isolated green microalga Chlorella sp. on acidogenically digested swine wastewater in bench scale for improved algal biomass production and waste nutrient removal using central composite design (CCD). The influences of two key...

Using wastewater to grow algae is probably the most promising route to reduce production costs associated with nutrients and water. In this study, a newly isolated facultative heterotrophic freshwater microalgae strain, Auxenochlorella protothecoides UMN280, was examined for algal growth,...

Microwave-Assisted Pyrolysis (MAP) is a highly scalable process that has the potential to realize the Distributed Biomass Energy Production System (DBEPS) concept. This study was to illustrate the heating properties of MAP when applied to biomass, and to demonstrate the feasibility of...

This study aimed to investigate the optimal controlling strategy for hydrolytic acidification (HA) of rice straw (RS) by domesticated paddy soil microbes (DPSM) and CH 4 yield of hydrolysate in liquid anaerobic digestion (L-AD). The suitable conditions for HA of RS were carbon/nitrogen ratio...

Rice straw (RS) is treated by straw biogas anaerobic digestion (AD) technology to reduce pollution, but RS anaerobic gas production technology has some problems such as low gas production rate, slow digestion speed, and long digestion period. Domesticated paddy soil microbes (DPSM) is an...
