Abstract Title: Advanced Achievements in Chemical, Ecological, and Environmental Sciences

Biography:

Ms Fatemeh Karimi. studied Polymer Engineering at the University of Applied Science And Technology and graduated as BA in 2015 . She worked in industrial companies for some time after graduation but due to her interest in the academic environment she then joined the research group of Prof. Abooali Golzary at the University of Tehran and working here for several years now.

Research Interest:

This presentation will focus on an innovative approach to addressing water scarcity and energy challenges through the integration of desalination, microalgae cultivation, and hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). It will explore how conventional desalination methods, while effective, are energy-intensive and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, necessitating the development of sustainable alternatives. The proposed integrated system utilizes microalgae, which can thrive in saline or brackish water, as a renewable resource for biofuel production and water treatment. Key points include the advantages of microalgae for biofuel production, such as high growth rates, non competition with food crops, and high lipid content. The presentation will explain how the integration of microalgae cultivation with desalination systems offers dual benefits: improving water quality by removing contaminants and heavy metals, while simultaneously generating bio-crude oil through HTL. The process of hydrothermal liquefaction, which converts wet algal biomass into bio-crude oil under high temperature and high-pressure conditions, will be discussed. The by-products of HTL, such as biochar and nutrient-rich water, can be recycled into the algal cultivation system, creating a closed-loop, resource efficient process. The environmental and economic advantages of this integrated system will be highlighted, including energy efficiency, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and resource optimization. Additionally, the potential challenges to commercial implementation, such as high capital costs and the need for scalable technology, will be addressed. Finally, the presentation will conclude with future directions for research and collaboration to enhance the scalability and economic viability of these green technologies, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches for sustainable development.
