Extraction of oil from algae for biofuel production by thermochemical liquefaction
(North-West University, 2009)
The extraction of oil from microalgae was investigated. The study focused on the
hydrothermal liquefaction of the microalgae Microcystis aeruginosa, Cyclotella meneghinia and Nitzschia pusilla. M. aeruginosa was ...
Bio-catalytic upgrading of phenolic components present in waste water of a hydrothermal liquefaction plant
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2021)
Vanillyl alcohol oxidase is a flavoenzyme naturally sourced from Penicillium simplicissimum. It is
a potential candidate in the commercial production of vanillin, an expensive natural flavourant in
the cosmetic, food, ...
Effect of operating parameters on bio-products obtained from the liquefaction of Quinoa lignocellulose materials
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)
An increased reliance on energy production and the consumption thereof is the result of an exponentially growing world population. Current global energy resources rely greatly on coal, natural gas and to a small extent on ...
Wastewater remediation using municipal solid waste-derived hydrochar
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)
Industrialisation and population growth increase solid waste generation and the release of toxic
pollutants into the environment. Therefore, novel approaches are necessary for both wastewater
remediation and solid waste ...
