Summary: The present study investigated the impact of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), culture temperature, and urea addition on the biomass, total lipid, lipidomic profile, and fatty acid productivity in Scenedesmus obliquus (S. obliquus) and Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) for sustainable biodiesels. Results showed that both S. obliquus and C. vulgaris exhibited high cell densities and lipid contents. The optimal parameters for biomass yields were a PAR of 60 μmol/m2/sec and a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius. Urea deprivation and a PAR of 60 μmol/m2/sec resulted in the highest proportions of unsaturated fatty acids in both species.

Summary: This study evaluated the food potential of Scenedesmus obliquus biomass obtained from photosynthetic cultures enriched with different concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2). The results showed that higher concentrations of CO2 led to increased synthesis of amino acids and proteins in the cultures. In addition, higher concentrations of chlorophylls were found in cultures with higher CO2 levels, while carotenoid concentrations were higher in cultures with lower CO2 levels. Overall, the Scenedesmus obliquus biomass accumulated significant amounts of proteins, lipids, and pigments through photosynthesis.

Summary: Microalgal-based processes show promise in addressing phosphorus recovery from wastewater and biofuel production. This study investigated the impact of phosphorus supply on microalgal growth, lipid yield, and phosphorus distribution for Scenedesmus during nitrogen starvation. Extracellular polymeric substances and intracellular polymeric substances were the main storages for inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus, respectively. Under low phosphorus supply, the main phosphorus pool for microalgae was extracellular polymeric substances, while high phosphorus concentrations stored most phosphorus in intracellular polymeric substances. High orthophosphate concentration stimulated rapid phosphorus uptake and promoted its transformation to organic phosphorus during biomass synthesis. The highest phosphorus content in microalgal biomass was 6.5% of dry weight at a phosphorus concentration of 113 mg/L, while the organic phosphorus content was 4.9% of dry weight. High phosphate-P availability enhanced microalgal biomass synthesis, lipid production, and phosphorus accumulation.

Summary: This study investigated the control mechanism of free radicals on phenolic products selectivity by using guaiacol as a model chemical. The results showed that gaseous radicals or carbon-centered radicals could promote phenols formation through different mechanisms. Methyl radicals were mainly responsible for the selectivity of phenols in the gas-phase system, while in the heterogeneous system, adsorption of methyl radicals and phenolic radicals on carbon edge sites played a crucial role. The presence of carbon-centered radicals distributed at zigzag edges on the carbon surface was found to be essential for the rapid conversion of lignin to phenols.

The coupling mechanism of working fluid flow and element dimension is analyzed based on force analysis, and experimental data analysis is used to determine the pump operation stroke. Theoretical simulation is conducted to analyze the correlation mechanism of the piston assembly. The research shows that the thermally-driven pump can greatly reduce power consumption and has potential for industrial applications.
