Microplastics (MPs) are one of the main pollutants in water and represent a potential risk to aquatic organisms and human health. MPs can act as a vector and absorb other compounds on their surface, affecting the accumulation and transport of these pollutants. Brazil is one of the largest consumers of herbicides in the world, which are frequently detected in high concentrations in water b…
The increased concentration of nutrients, from anthropic activities, has increased the eutrophication in the aquatic environments and one of the consequences of the process is the excessive growth of microalgae. During the growth of the biomass, there is the release of the organic matter commonly known as Algal Organic Matter (AOM), being released by algae due to metabolic activity and/or…
Algae are present in almost all aquatic environments, making them one of the most characteristic organisms on Earth. In the last years, several applications have been proposed, among them, the use in agriculture as biofertilizer and in the tertiary treatment of the sewage. In a scenario of increasing food demand and reduced soil fertility due to the indiscriminate use of synthetic fertili…
The management of sludge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is an activity of great complexity and high cost, which if poorly executed, can undermine the environmental benefits expected from this system and health. It is estimated that the sludge production in Brazil is between 150-220 thousand tons per year. As the main objective of sludge treatment is to make a more stable and lowe…
Microalgae cells and algogenic organic matter (AOM) are natural sources of high concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen. This composition shows their potential to form disinfection by-products (DBPs) after the disinfection process, which poses a health risk to the water consumers. Despite the importance of this topic, few studies have focused on DBP formation from AO…
The research project abroad aims to study the mechanism behind alkaline flocculation (harvesting) of the freshwater microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana, cultured in defined mineral medium and black water. This harvesting method is considered a cheap way of biomass separation and it is based on either spontaneous or forced pH alteration. The pH shift to alkaline regions (pH 9-12) induces prec…
