Algal cells harvesting using cost-effective magnetic nano-particles
Abstract
Innovative iron-based nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized and tested for the first time for harvesting single and mixed algal culture from real wastewater. The tailor-made magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs; Fe-MNP-I and Fe-MNP-II) achieved a percentage algae harvesting efficiency (%AHE) higher than 95% using a concentration of MNPs (C MNP) of 25 ± 0.3 (std. dev = 0.08) mg.L-1, mixing speed (M speed) of 120 ± 2 (std. dev = 0.10) rpm, short contact time (C t) of 7 ± 0.1 (std. dev = 0.05) min and separation time (SP t) of 3 ± 0.1 (std. dev = 0.09) min. The optimum operational conditions for harvesting of Chlorella vulgaris (C.v) were determined at (C MNP = 40 ± 0.4 (std. dev = 0.5) g MNPs.L-1, SP t = 2.5 ± 0.4 (std. dev = 0.1) min, M speed = 145 ± 3 (std. dev = 1.50) rpm and C t = 5 ± 0.3 (std. dev = 0.10) min using surface response methodology. Langmuir model describes better the adsorption behavior of algae-Fe-MNP-I system, while both Langmuir and Freundlich fit well the adsorption behavior of algae-Fe-MNP-II. The maximum adsorption capacity of Spirulina platensis (SP.PL) (18.27 ± 0.07 (std. dev = 0.19) mg DWC.mg particles-1) was higher than that for Chlorella vulgaris (C.v) (11.52 ± 0.01 (std. dev = 0.34) mg DWC.mg particles-1) and mixed algal culture (M.X) (17.20 ± 0.07 (std. dev = 0.54) mg DWC.mg particles-1) over Fe-MNP-I. Zeta potential measurements revealed that the adsorption mechanism between MNPs and algal strains is controlled by electrostatic interaction. The synthesized MNPs were recycled 10 times using alkaline-ultrasonic regeneration procedure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
