The study of the microalgal growth kinetics is an indispensable tool in all fields phycology. Knowing optimal nutrient concentration important issue that will help to develop efficient systems for these microorganisms. Although nitrogen and phosphorus are well studied this purpose, sulfur seems be less investigated. Sulfate a primary source used by microalgae; moreover, compound increasing freshwater due pollution. aim was investigate effects different sodium sulfate concentrations culture...
The efficiency of the living biomass microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii in removing methylene blue dye is determined. kinetics, equilibrium isotherms, and effects on this process pH, contact time, initial concentration are studied. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry point zero charge used to characterize explore process. maximum removal capacity derived from Langmuir isotherm 212.41 ± 4.55 mg/g after 7 h time at pH 7. rapid because kinetic studies revealed that best fit data with...
Abstract Pollution by dyes is a serious environmental problem. Marine waters receive pollutants from many sources, however, there are few studies that deal with the elimination of these environments. The search for effective, cheap, and ecological procedures to remove seawater current challenge. Biosorption meets requirements, but it necessary find best biosorbent operating conditions. Since microalgal biomass considered good biosorbent, efficiency living marine microalga Phaeodactylum...
The species composition of diatom assemblages was studied in five unpolluted thermo-mineral springs Galicia (NW Spain). Three are considered hot and two cold, some contain hydrogen sulphide. A total 68 taxa (24 genera) have been recorded. Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H′) ranged between 0.63 2.01. nMDS ordination showed that assemblage influenced mostly by conductivity, temperature sulphide concentration. Diatom found the Galician differed from those other geographical locations with...
This paper describes a new module to create advanced simulations with the Khepera IV mobile robot in V-REP simulator. The library, called KH4VREP, allows users add model or an existing simulation. KH4VREP library depicts graphical representation of model, and also provides several methods programmatically read manipulate sensors actuators robot. visual design has been developed using Autodesk Inventor. functionality test under different control problems such as: position control, trajectory...
