In this study, ultrafiltration (UF) pre-oxidation with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode was employed aiming to mitigate membrane fouling during algae-laden water treatment. It was found that BDD anodizing can efficiently alleviate membrane fouling regardless of the filtration membrane material when the oxidation time was over 30 min. This was ...

Microalgae biodiesel attracts considerable attention from energy organizations around the world. Lack of high oil-producing oleaginous microalgae is considered as one of the main bottlenecks for large-scale production of microalgae biodiesel. To address this issue, a nitrogen limitation-based method for screening oleaginous microalgae using 24-well...
Bio-aviation fuels are a major research and development topic, with strong interests from the aviation sector, the public, lawmakers and potential producers. Yet the development and market penetration in the air-transportation sector is slow, despite proven environmental benefits. Bio-fuels can indeed mitigate the environmental impact of the aviati...
The frequent environment-unfriendly treatments of agro-industrial bio-wastes cause severe pollution through air pollution and through residual effluents and hazardous solid waste. These bio-wastes can contain phenolic compounds, forms of phenolic acids and flavonoids in plants. They are however the most abundant class of many phytochemicals and hav...
BACKGROUND: Omics technologies, enabling the measurements of genes (genomics), mRNA (transcriptomics), proteins (proteomics) and metabolites (metabolomics), are valuable tools for personalized decision-making. We aimed to identify the existing value assessment frameworks used by health technology assessment (HTA) doers for the evaluation of omics t...
