In the last decade, Sargassum spp. seaweed species have caused massive flooding on Caribbean Sea coasts. These a high content of recalcitrant compounds, such as insoluble fibers and polyphenols, which generate low methane yields in anaerobic digestion (AD). This study investigated effect solid–liquid separation biomass biodegradability yield. A biochemical potential (BMP) test was conducted with both fractions raw (RB). mass balance developed to assess distribution components. The obtained...
Sargassum spp. flood the Caribbean coastline, causing damage to local economy and environment. Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been proposed as an attractive option for turning macroalgae into valuable resources. a complex composition that affects microbial involved in AD which generates low methane yield. This study aimed improve yield of pelagic Sargassum, using different energy-saving pretreatments identifying community associated with production. We applied algal biomass assessed biomethane...
Abstract Sargassum spp. floods the Caribbean coastlines, causing damage to local economy and environment. These macroalgae have a low methane yield that makes anaerobic digestion (AD) process unviable, so low-cost pretreatments are required. This research investigated efficiency of energy-saving pretreatments, such as water washing, had not been evaluated for these species. The microbial communities involved in AD best worst-performing systems were also analyzed by high-throughput...
Abstract In recent years, pelagic Sargassum has invaded the Caribbean coasts, and anaerobic digestion been proposed as a sustainable management option. However, complex composition of these macroalgae acts barrier to microbial degradation, thereby limiting methane production. Microbial adaptation emerged promising strategy improve substrate utilization stress tolerance. This study aimed investigate consortium enhance production from . was carried out for 100 days by progressively feeding The...
Abstract In the past decade, Sargassum natans and S. fluitans have massively reached Mexican Caribbean shores. As a result, confinement sites may be affecting soil quality health in coastal ecosystems agroecosystems. The impact of (e.g., polyphenols) on biodiversity has not yet been evaluated. Terrestrial ecotoxicological tests use epigean earthworm Eisenia fetida as model organism to assess function habitats. This study evaluated behavior survival E. exposed five concentrations (0, 25, 50,...
En la última década las costas del Caribe han recibido cada año grandes cantidades de macroalgas pardas género Sargassum provocando afectaciones económicas y ambientales. Diferentes estudios se realizado para evaluar valorización estas macroalgas. Algunas propuestas incluyen generación biocombustibles o bioenergía, sin embargo, aplicaciones aún presentan algunas limitaciones, principalmente bajos rendimientos. Este estudio evaluó aplicación pretratamientos económicamente viables...
En la última década cantidades masivas de macroalgas del género Sargassum han inundado las playas Caribe, generando afectaciones, económicas, ecológicas y ambientales. Hasta el momento no se ha encontrado un método aprovechamiento factible producción biocombustibles parece presentar bajos rendimientos debido a su composición compleja. este trabajo realizó procesamiento sargazo para obtener parte soluble evaluar potencial bioquímico metano (PBM), además estimar bioenergético. El...
