Effective removal of the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus from a Chlorella vulgaris microalgal culture by homogeneous solar photo-Fenton at neutral pH
Christian Ludwig, Horst Pick, Stefanos Giannakis, Adrian Pulgarin, Jiahua Chen, Dominik Refardt, Jérémie Decker
In this study, a citrate-modified photo-Fenton process was successfully applied to decontaminate a Chlorella vulgaris microalgae culture spiked with the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus (5 individuals mL−1). The applied treatment (1 mg L−1 Fe2+, 20 mg L−1 H ...
2022Robust and sustainable cultivation of microalgae: recycling of nitrogen from liquid digestate and control of biological contamination
The present doctoral thesis aimed to achieve a robust cultivation of microalgae by recycling nitrogen from a liquid digestate. However, the use of non-sterile nutrient source increases the risks of contamination of undesired organisms such as bacteria, vir ...
EPFL2021A novel proposition for a citrate-modified photo-Fenton process against bacterial contamination of microalgae cultures
César Pulgarin, Christian Ludwig, Stefanos Giannakis, Adrian Pulgarin, Dominik Refardt
This study reports the first attempt of a citrate-modified photo-Fenton (PF) application at near-neutral pH (7.5–8.5, tap water) to disinfect Escherichia coli (as model bacterium), in Chlorella vulgaris cultures. The conditions are aimed towards bacterial ...
