Marine Biomass Filtration with a Rocker Watervac 100-MS
It’s a 20 minute drive south from UC San Diego, through San Diego proper, to the salt pools at the South Bay Salt Works. The Salt Works comprises 28 ponds of various sizes and salinities, making it an ideal laboratory for the study of biomass distribution across multiple environments. The ponds range from the salinity of the ocean to the point where certain salts reach saturation and start ...

Modeling biosorption of Cr(VI) onto Ulva compressa L. from aqueous solutions
The marine biomass Ulva compressa L. (ECL) was used as a low-cost biosorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from contaminated aqueous solutions. The operating variables were optimized: pH ∼ 2, initial concentration of 25 mg/L, solid/liquid ratio of 6 g/L and a temperature of 50 °C, leading to an uptake elimination of 96%. A full factorial experimental design technique enabled us to obtain a ...

Outdoor mass culture of Spirulina maxima in sea-water
The results of a whole year experiment on the outdoor mass culture of Spirulina maxima strain 4Mx on fertilized sea-water are reported. Carbonate and phosphate precipitation in the sea-water media was prevented by maintaining a low concentration of phosphate and by controlling the pH in the range of 8.0–8.3. The mean annual yield of biomass on sea-water plus urea as nitrogen source was 7.35 ...

Cr(III) uptake by marine algal biomass: equilibrium and kinetics
In this work, biosorption of Cr(III) by the marine brown algae Sargassum muticum was studied in a batch system. Kinetics and equilibrium experiments were conducted at different pH. Equilibrium data are well described by the Langmuir and Langmuir-Freundlich isotherms. The two mass transfer models give comparable results, but they did not provide a perfect representation of the sorption data. ...
