However, this new kind of energy has not met its full potential in production of energy, especially electricity generation due to its lower performance in terms of thermal efficiency. Algae （included Microalgae ＆ Macroalgae） are widely used for multi-application developments such as fishery aquaculture, food/nutrient supplement, cosmetics, and biomass energy. Microalgae have been treated as the source of bio-fuel. In this paper, we selected the two types of freshwater microalgae ＂Chlorella Vulgaris＂ ＆ ＂Spirulina＂ and macro algae （Laminariaceae） as the main materials and we analyzed TGA （thermal gravity analysis） and calorific values （heat of combustion）. We found the calorific values are 1,000-5,000 KC/KG and TGA results show that the microalgae decrease rapidly after reached 300 ℃. The results in this paper will be used as a reference material for microalgae multi-oriental energy application and biomass composition proximate and ultimate research development in the future.展开更多

Given that nitrogen with phosphorus that are leading causes of algal bloom resulting in increased eutrophication or chemical nutrients are the basis of this document analysis. This increase in organisms results in less oxygen in water bodies and at times, slow decay leads many fresh water ponds, lakes and rivers. The process of eutrophication unfortunately tends to favor pollution and algae, which reduce the quality of the water. Kosovo has not a long tradition in the treatment of wastewater, especially in removing phosphorus, since the country has only a plant for wastewater treatment. The present plant is intended to protect the Klina river from eutrophication from wastewater discharged after treatment. This plant currently reduced phosphorus efficiently, but the goal of this paper is to increase the percentage of removal of phosphorus to 40% through trickling filters, presenting options for optimizing work on plant Skenderaj.展开更多
