Abstract

Dairy farm wastewaters are potential resources for production of microalgae biofuels. A study was conducted to evaluate the capability of production of biodiesel from consortium of native microalgae culture in dairy farm treated wastewater. Native algal strains were isolated from dairy farm wastewaters collection tank (untreated wastewater) as well as from holding tank (treated wastewater). The consortium members were selected on the basis of fluorescence response after treating with Nile red reagent. Preliminary studies of two commercial and consortium of ten native strains of algae showed good growth in wastewaters. A consortium of native strains was found capable to remove more than 98% nutrients from treated wastewater. The biomass production and lipid content of consortium cultivated in treated wastewater were 153.54 t ha −1 year −1 and 16.89%, respectively. 72.70% of algal lipid obtained from consortium could be converted into biodiesel .

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Nutrient-rich wastewater from dairy and sugar processing contains essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which if untreated can disrupt water uses.

    “Nutrient-rich wastewater from sources such as dairy and sugar processing contains essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which, if untreated, can disrupt normal water uses, including drinking, irrigation, and recreational activities [134-137].”
  • Hena et al. found that four microalgae strains thrived in dairy wastewater, effectively removing nutrients and leading to increased biomass production.

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.
