Adsorption performance of Ni(II) by KOH-modified biochar derived from different microalgae species
Bioresour Technol. 2024 Jan 3;394:130287. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.130287. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroalgae biochar is potential adsorbents to remove heavy metals from wastewater due to abundant functional groups, high porosity and wide sources, but performance is not fully developed since it depends on microalgae species attributing to distinct morphology and biomass compositions. Here, two microalgae species Chlorella Pyrenoidosa and Scenedesmus Obliquus were used for biochar preparation via KOH-modification, biochar properties and their influences on Ni(II) adsorption were investigated. Ni(II) adsorption per...

Method Improvement for Quantitative Analysis of Chlorophyll Degradation Compounds, Including Pheophorbide, in Chlorella Products
In this study, we thoroughly examined each step of the official method to enhance the operability and develop an alternative method that eliminates the need for saturated sodium sulfate solution. The developed method was evaluated for pheophorbide a and pyropheophorbide a at 100 mg%. Satisfactory analytical performance was achieved with trueness of 100% for pheophorbide a and 90% for pyropheophorbide a, and relative standard deviations of intra- and inter-day precision below 5% for both compounds. The proposed method is considered suitable for regulatory analysis of chlorophyll degradation compounds and would be useful for...
