Among the different chemical and physical treatments used to remove the color of the textile effluents, bioremediation offers many benefits to the environment. In this study, we determined the potential of Spirulina platensis (S. platensis) for decolorizing indigo blue dye under different incubation conditions. The microalgae were incubated at different pH (from 4 to 10) to calibrate for the optimal discoloration condition; a pH of 4 was found to be optimal. The biomass concentration in all experiments was 1 g/L, which was able to decolorize the indigo blue dye by day 3. These results showed that S. platensis is capable of removing indigo blue dye at low biomass. However, this was dependent on the treatment conditions, where temperature played the most crucial role. Two theoretical adsorption models, namely (1) a first-order model equation and (2) a second-order rate equation, were compared with observed adsorption vs. time curves for different initial concentrations (from 25 to 100 mg/L). The comparison between models showed similar accuracy and agreement with the experimental values. The observed adsorption isotherms for three temperatures (30, 40, and 50 °C) were plotted, showing fairly linear behavior in the measured range. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms were estimated, providing an initial description of the dye removal capacity of S. platensis.

In order to promote the efficient use of composite materials in civil engineering infrastructure, effort is being directed at the development of design criteria for composite structures. Insofar as design with regard to behavior is concerned, it is well known that a key step is to investigate the influence of geometric differences on the non-linear behavior of the panels. One possible approach is to use the validated numerical model based on the non-linear finite element analysis (FEA). The validation of the composite panel’s element using Trim-deck and Span-deck steel sheets under axial load shows that the present results have very good agreement with experimental references. The developed finite element (FE) models are found to reasonably simulate load-displacement response, stress condition, giving percentage of differences below than 15% compared to the experimental values. Trim-deck design provides better axial resistance than Span-deck. More concrete in between due to larger area of contact is the factor that contributes to its resistance.

Abstract Using the van der Waals density functional with C09 exchange (vdW-DF-C09), which has been applied to describing a wide range of dispersion-bound systems, we explore the physical properties of prototypical ABO 3 bulk ferroelectric oxides. Surprisingly, vdW-DF-C09 provides a superior description of experimental values for lattice constants, polarization and bulk moduli, exhibiting similar accuracy to the modified Perdew-Burke-Erzenhoff functional which was designed specifically for bulk solids (PBEsol). The relative performance of vdW-DF-C09 is strongly linked to the form of the exchange enhancement factor which, like PBEsol, tends to behave like the gradient expansion approximation for small reduced gradients. These results suggest the general-purpose nature of the class of vdW-DF functionals, with particular consequences for predicting material functionality across dense and sparse matter regimes.

Nano Molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO3) was synthesized in an easy and efficient approach. The removal of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solutions was studied using this material. The effects of various experimental parameters, for example contact time, pH, temperature and initial MB concentration on removal capacity were explored. The removal of MB was significantly affected by pH and temperature and higher values resulted in increase of removal capacity of MB. The removal efficiency of Methylene blue was 100% at pH = 11 for initial dye concentrations lower than 150 ppm, with a maximum removal capacity of 152 mg/g of MB as gathered from Langmuir model. By comparing the kinetic models (pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order and intraparticle diffusion model) at various conditions, it has been found that the pseudo second-order kinetic model correlates with the experimental data well. The thermodynamic study indicated that the removal was endothermic, spontaneous and favorable. The thermal regeneration studies indicated that the removal efficiency (99%) was maintained after four cycles of use. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) confirmed the presence of the MB dye on the α-MoO3 nanoparticles after adsorption and regeneration. The α-MoO3 nanosorbent showed excellent removal efficiency before and after regeneration, suggesting that it can be used as a promising adsorbent for removing Methylene blue dye from wastewater.

Industri kertas menghasilkan air limbah dari kegiatan produksi dan proses flue gas desulphurization (air limbah wet scrubber). Senyawa nutrisi (senyawa karbon, nitrogen, dan fosfat) yang masih terdapat dalam air limbah terolah dan air limbah wet scrubber belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal dan berpotensi sebagai media pertumbuhan Spirulina platensis. Penelitian dengan variasi komposisi air limbah dan fotoperiode (24 jam terang dan 12 jam terang/12 jam gelap) telah dilakukan dalam skala laboratorium selama 9 hari. Pengukuran pH media, pertumbuhan S. platensis (konsentrasi biomassa, laju pertumbuhan spesifik, dan waktu penggandaan), dan kandungan fikosianin dilakukan setiap hari untuk melihat pengaruh komposisi media dan perlakuan fotoperiode terhadap pertumbuhan S. platensis. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa S. platensis dapat tumbuh dengan baik pada semua komposisi air limbah terolah dan air limbah wet scrubber yang diujicobakan. Konsentrasi biomassa tertinggi sebesar 831 mg/L dan laju pertumbuhan spesifik tertinggi sebesar 0,52 hari-1 dengan waktu penggandaan 0,4 hari diperoleh dari perlakuan fotoperiode 24 jam terang. Komposisi air limbah terolah dan air limbah wet scrubber tidak memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap konsentrasi biomassa, tetapi perbedaan fotoperiode sangat berpengaruh terhadap konsentrasi biomassa sehingga dalam aplikasi skala lapangan perlu mempertimbangkan sistem pencahayaan untuk pertumbuhan S. platensis yang optimal.Kata kunci: Spirulina platensis, media pertumbuhan, fotoperiode, air limbah terolah, air limbah wet scrubberThe Effect of Composition of Paper Industry Wastewater as A Growth Medium and Photoperiod on The Culture of Spirulina platensisAbstractThe paper industry produces wastewater from its production activities and the flue gas desulphurization process (wet scrubber wastewater). Nutritional compounds (carbon, nitrogen and phosphate compounds) which are still in treated wastewater and wet scrubber wastewater have not been utilized optimally and have potential as growth media of Spirulina platensis. Research on wastewater compositions and photoperiod variations (24 hours light and 12 hours light/12 hours dark) was carried out on a laboratory scale for 9 days. Measurements of medium pH, growth of S. platensis (biomass concentration, specific growth rate, and doubling time), and phycocyanin content were carried out every day to study the effect of wastewater composition and photoperiod treatment on the growth of S. platensis. The results showed that S. platensis can grow well on all compositions of treated wastewater and wet scrubber wastewater. The highest biomass concentration of 831 mg/L and the highest specific growth rate of 0.52 days-1 with a doubling time of 0,4 days is obtained from 24-hour light photoperiod treatment. The composition of treated wastewater and wet scrubber wastewater has no significant effect on the biomass concentration but the photoperiod differences greatly influence the biomass concentration so that in the field scale application it is necessary to consider the lighting system for optimal S. platensis growth. Keywords:  Spirulina platensis, growth medium, photoperiod, treated wastewater, wet scrubber wastewater

Abstract The Indigo Blue dye is widely used in the textile industry, specifically in jeans dyeing, the effluents of which, rich in organic pollutants with recalcitrant characteristics, end up causing several environmental impacts, requiring efficient treatments. Several pieces of research have been conducted in search of effective treatment methods, among which is electrocoagulation. This treatment consists of an electrochemical process that generates its own coagulant by applying electric current on metallic electrodes, bypassing the use of other chemical products. The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential use of iron slag in the electrocoagulation of a synthetic effluent containing commercial dye Indigo Blue and the effluent from a textile factory. The quantified parameters were color, turbidity, pH, electrical conductivity, sludge generation, phenol removal, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total organic carbon (TOC). The electrocoagulation treatment presented a good efficiency in removing the analyzed parameters, obtaining average removal in the synthetic effluent of 85 % of color and 100 % of phenol after 25 min of electrolysis. For the effluent from the textile factory, average reductions of 80 % of color, 91 % of turbidity, 100 % of phenol, 55 % of COD, and 73 % of TOC were measured after 60 min of electrolysis. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of using iron slag as an electrode in the electrocoagulation process in order to reuse industrial waste and reduce costs in the treatment and disposal of solid waste.

Water supplemented with 10% or 20% (v/v) of Zarrouk medium was used to cultivate Spirulina platensis in closed and open bioreactors under controlled conditions (30 °C, 32.5 μmol m−2 s−1, 12 h light/dark photoperiod) and in a greenhouse (9.4 to 46 °C, up to 2800 μmol m−2 s−1, variable day length photoperiod) using different initial biomass concentrations (X0) in the extreme south of Brazil (32.05° S, 52.11° W). Under controlled conditions the maximum specific growth rate (μmax) was 0.102 d−1, the biomass doubling time (td) was 6.8 d, the maximum dry biomass concentration (Xmax) was 1.94 g LD1 and the maximum productivity (Pmax) was 0.059 g L−1 d−1, while the corresponding values in the greenhouse experiments were μmax = 0.322 d−1, td = 2.2 d, Xmax = 1.73 g L−1 and Pmax = 0.112 g L−1 d−1. Under controlled conditions the highest values for these parameters occurred when X0 = 0.15 g L−1, while in the greenhouse X0 = 0.4 g L−1 produced the highest values. These results show that the cultivation of S. platensis in greenhouses in the extreme south of Brazil is technically viable and that the S. platensis inoculum and the concentration of Zarrouk medium can be combined in such a way as to obtain growth and productivity parameters comparable, or superior, to those occurring in bioreactors under controlled conditions of temperature, illuminance and photoperiod.

AbstractThe structural parameters ensuring high strength and low electrical resistance have been analyzed in Cu–Cr alloys exposed to severe plastic deformation (SPD) and aging. Specific resistance and strength characteristics have been modeled for a Cu–0.5 wt % Cr alloy with a nanostructure state caused by SPD. A comparison of modeling data with experimental values reveals the validity of the approach chosen for describing the above states. The formation of nanostructure states with high strength and low electrical resistance is shown to be due to simultaneous effects depending on the treatment conditions of materials.

Phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis (S. Platensis) is a pigment-complex protein belong to the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family. The pigments have high economic value as a natural blue dye as well as the source of antioxidants and anticancer. Production of pure natural phycocyanin remains in high demand. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain phycocyanin with high purity values using modified liquid biphasic flotation (LBF) system and tested for DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-pycrilhydrazil) radical scavenging activity. This study produced high purity phycocyanin with purification fold 3.041 ± 0.04 and recovery yields approximately about 70.881%. Purified phycocyanin showed scavenging activity with IC50 of   338.585 mg/mL. Thus, the LBF system yielded high purity phycocyanin pigments.
