  3. 2. Using microalgae for removing nutrients from RAS aquaculture effluents - a viable strategy? A case study.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Samuel Karlsson; [2022-07-06]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The increased global demand for fish has caused a tremendous increase in aquaculture production during the last decade, emphasising the importance of systems with a low climate footprint. One such system is a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) which is land-based as opposed to traditional open systems. READ MORE

  4. 3. An analysis of creating plastic material based on the microalgae Scenedesmus

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Isabelle Hernodh Svantesson; Saga Grånäs Jakobsson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The microalgae Scenedesmus Bloom are grown in sewage environment and contains, among other things, polymers of saccharides. The polysaccharides can possibly be extracted and used for the manufacturing of plastic material. The algae have a strong cell wall, can grow fast in severe external conditions and shows good ability to capture carbon dioxide. READ MORE

  5. 4. Bioplastic material from microalgae : Extraction of starch and PHA from microalgae to create a bioplastic material

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Nathalie Johnsson; Fredrik Steuer; [2018]
    Keywords : Bioplastic material; Starch; PHA; PH3B; Extraction; Microalgae; Polymers; Bioplastiskt material; Stärkelse; PHA; PH3B; Extraktion; Mikroalger; Polymerer;

    Abstract : Microalgae used in sewers to capture CO2 eventually turns into waste material. Through the use oftheir biomass, the waste algae can be given a new purpose. In this study attempts to extract starch or PHA from three different algae; Calothrix Scytonemicola, Scenedesmus Almeriensis and Neochloris Oleoabundans, were made. READ MORE

  6. 5. Biogas upgrading by Scenedesmus grown in diluted digestate

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Julie Farinacci; [2018]
    Keywords : microalgae; Scenedesmus; photosynthesis; biogas upgrading; digestate;

    Abstract : The aim of the work was to examine microalgae growth and nutrient elimination in various diluted digestates in the first trial, then to study CO2 removal from a simulated biogas mixture by the same strain in the second trial. Scenedesmus SCCP K-1826 was cultivated in the digestate from Sundet biogas plant diluted 10, 20 and 30 times.
