Artificial Neural Network for predicting biosorption of methylene blue by
Spirulina sp.An artificial neural network (ANN) was used to predict the biosorption of methylene blue on Spirulina sp. biomass. Genetic and anneal algorithms were tested with different quantity of neurons at the hidden layers to determine the optimal neurons in the ANN architecture. In addition, sensitivity analyses were conducted with the optimised ANN architecture for establishing which input variables ...

Utilization of inland saline water for
Spirulina cultivationAn attempt was made to assess the suitability of the inland saline water of Rohtak (Haryana) for mass cultivation of Spirulina platensis, a salt loving cyanobacterium. Cultivation of S. platensis was performed in indoor and outdoor culture units. The investigation revealed that the yield of biomass in de-calcified inland saline water was comparable to the yield obtained in synthetic ...

Removal of bivalent and trivalent ions by Spirulina platensis biomass: batch experiments and biosorbent characterisation
The removal of cadmium and chromium, at comparable initial molar concentration (1, 2, 4 mM) has been studied employing progressively increasing concentrations of S. platensis dry biomass. The highest yield of Cd removal (≥98%) was obtained with 2 g l−1 of this biosorbent, whereas no more than 77.5% of Cr was removed with 4 g l−1 biomass. The FT-IR analysis evidenced that the ions removal occurs ...

Algae Bulgaria, Stara Zagora - Case Study
Following detailed consultation with Algae Bulgaria our team recently installed and commissioned a pilot scale Phyco-Flow system at their production facility in Stara Zagora. Algae Bulgaria is a company founded by a young team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about the potential of microalgae within the nutraceutical markets (https://spirulina.bg/). They cultivate Spirulina and sell the ...

Pretreatment of brewery effluent to cultivate Spirulina sp. for nutrients removal and biomass production
Due to the low concentration of nitrate and high contents of organics, brewery effluent was not suitable for the cultivation of Spirulina sp. This work changed the nutrient profile of brewery effluent effectively by dilution, addition of nitrate, and anaerobic digestion. The result showed that the optimum dilution rate and NaNO3 addition for brewery effluent were 20% and 0.5 g/L, ...
