The activated sludge process is commonly used to treat wastewater by aerobic oxidation of
organic pollutants into carbon dioxide and water. However, several nonoxidative …

Lipid extraction directly from the wet oleaginous microorganisms for biodiesel production is
preferred as it reduces the energy input for traditional processes which require extensive …

This paper proposes two strategies for controlling the dissolved oxygen concentration in the
sequential batch reactor of the wastewater treatment process in the papermaking industry …

Pure volatile fatty acid (VFA) solution derived from waste activated sludge (WAS) was used
to produce microbial lipids as culture medium in this study, which aimed to realize the …

Lipids in sewage sludge are considered to be high-class raw materials for biodiesel or other
valuable products. We profiled the characteristics and assessed the reutilization potential of …

Background Converting wastewater sludge to lipid is considered as one of the best
strategies of sludge management. The current problem of lipid production from wastewater …

This work studied the dynamics of the biodiesel profile [as lipid-derived fatty acid methyl
esters (FAMEs)] and microbial community diversity in activated sludge microbial consortia …

In the quest to comply with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on
reducing the global temperature to 1.5–2.0 C as a measure to minimize the climate change …

The bioremediation capacity of microalgae found in the wastewater channels in Irrigation
District 03 (DR03) in Mexico was studied. The study evaluated the effect of pH, aeration, light …
