Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImprovements on Semi Critical Assisted-Solvent Extraction of Biocrude Oil from Spirogyra. sp Macro AlgaeTulio Chavez-Gil, Hany F. Sobhi, Alexis Pacheco-LaracuenteHere, we report on an improved chemical method to extract hydrocarbons (CH) and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) from wild green macro algae, which is higher than that carried out with conventional Soxhlet (Sx) and similar to that of Subcritical (SbC) or supercritical fluid (SCE) extraction methods. Crude oil plus residual biomass gave combined calorific values of 49.05 MJ/kg in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2018 · 10,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacteristic Study of the Marine Algae Sargassum sp. on Metal AdsorptionA. Saravanan, V. Brindha, Soundarajan KrishnanProblem statement: Biomass of brown marine macro algae is a biological resource that is available in large quantities and can form a good base for the development of biosorbent material. Approach: Algae have been found to be potentially suitable biosorbents because of its cheap availability, both in fresh or salt water, relatively high surface area and high binding affinity. Results: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Fluoride and Other Ions on Algae and Fish of Coastal Water of Mediterranean Sea, EgyptM. S. Masoud, W. M. El-Sarraf, A. A. Harfoush, G. F. El-SaidSea grass, marine algae and fish samples were collected from the Egyptian coast of Mediterranean Sea during September 2000 and March 2001. The contents of fluoride and some interfering ions (calcium, magnesium, sulphate, phosphorus and some heavy metals) ions and their concentration factors were determined in the dried samples. Fluoride contents in macrophytes, algae, muscle of fish samples were ranged … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntioxidant Activity of Brown Algae Sargassum species Extract from the Coastline of Java IslandSiti A. Budhiyanti, Sri Raharjo, Djagal W. Marseno, Iwan Y.B. LelanaThe coastlines with rocky shores at Java Island Indonesia, Gunung Kidul (Yogyakarta) and Jepara (Central Java), have abundant resources of brown algae Sargassum sp. Little effort, however, has been made to explore the antioxidant potential of the algae harvested from these area. Tropical brown algae have proven to produce a very effective antioxidant defence system due to the strong UV … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2012 · 9,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiodiesel Fuel Production from Algae as Renewable EnergyA.B.M. Sharif Hossain, Aishah Salleh, Amru Nasrulhaq Boyce et al.Biodiesel is biodegradable, less CO2 and NOx emissions. Continuous use of petroleum sourced fuels is now widely recognized as unsustainable because of depleting supplies and the contribution of these fuels to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the environment. Renewable, carbon neutral, transport fuels are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. Algae have emerged as one of the most promising … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 32,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Hydrodynamic Conditions on Algal Organism GrowthBingxin Zhong, Zhifu Wang, Weihua Feng, Baoxing HuangThe growth of algal organisms is influenced by hydrodynamics, making it a crucial aspect of algal biology. We summarize recent studies on the impact of hydrodynamics on algal growth, with a specific focus on current velocity. In the past, extensive attention has been paid to the direct effects of impact factors on algal blooms and there is still a certain … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2024 · 4,932 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCorrelation of Biodiversity of Algal Genera with Special Reference to the Waste Water Effluents from IndustriesRitu Singh Rajput, Sonali Pandey, Seema BhadauriaPollution is the introduction of contaminants, which cause adverse change, into the natural environment and mainly from external inputs like sewage, waste from industries, oil spills and agricultural use of pesticides. Anthropogenic activity-reflected in the use of toxic metals and organic pollutants-has increased levels of soil contamination and damage to aquatic systems. Ecosystems maintain water quality and withstand pressure from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2016 · 8,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigation of the Fatty Acid Profile in Some Macroalgae in Relation to the Environmental Conditions for Biodiesel ProductionNayrah Abdel Naby Shaltout, Nihal Galal Shams El-DinIn this study, fatty acids profile was determined in four algal species; namely Ulva fasciata (Chlorophyta), Corallina mediterranea, Corallina officinalis and Pterocladiella capillacea (Rhodophyta) which were collected from two sites (Abu-Qir Bay and Eastern Harbor) located on the Egyptian Mediterranean Sea during the four seasons in the period (2011-2012). In addition, nutrient content in the algal species (total nitrogen and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 14 Dec 2015 · 7,334 accessesView PDFCite

TawariProblem statement: Elechi Creek of the Upper Bonny Estuary in the Niger Delta contributes to the Rivers State Fish resources. It is a sink receiving organic anthropogenic wastes from Diobu, Eagle Island and waterfront dwellers of Diobu areas. Fishing, car washing, bathing, swimming and other human activities are constantly going on within and around this creek. Based on these activities, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAlbian-Cenomanian Zonation (Foraminifers and Calcareous Aglae) in the Northern Fars, IranMahnaz Parvaneh Nejad ShiraziProblem statement: In the middle Cretaceous of Iran, fossil calcareous algae and zonation them with foraminifers are one of the less studied compared to others invertebrate groups such as foraminiferis, mollusks and others. Several stratigraphic units were analyzed in detail and a biostratigraphic zonation of the Albian-Cenomanian rocks of the Fars basin (Sw. Iran) is proposed. Approach: All stratigraphic units … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
