The diatom biosilica was produced by cultivation of the selected species of diatoms
(Pseudostaurosira trainorii) under laboratory conditions. The morphological and structural …

Diatoms are unicellular photosynthetic algae that produce a silica exoskeleton (frustule)
which exposes a highly ordered nano to micro scale morphology. In recent years there has …

The existence of taste and odour (T&O) in drinking water is one of the principal causes of
consumer complaints and is commonly related to algae growth. Numerous studies have …

The biomass of one type cultivated diatoms (Pseudostaurosira trainorii), being a source of
3D-stuctured biosilica and organic matter—the source of carbon, was thermally processed to …

The potential of porous diatom silica shells as a naturally abundant low-cost sorbent for the
removal of arsenic in aqueous solutions was investigated in a batch study. The objective of …

The eukaryotic diatoms are unicellular algae. They are well known for their filigree micro-
and nanostructured cell walls which mainly consist of amorphous silica as well as various …

Metals are a recognised threat to aquatic organisms but the impact of metals such as copper
(Cu) on benthic freshwater diatoms is poorly understood, even if diatoms are commonly …

Diatoms represent, in terms of species number, one of the largest groups of microalgae that
have the ability to synthesize phenomenal mineral composites characterized by complex …

The morphology, chemical, and mineralogical composition of subsurface filamentous fabrics
(SFF) from the Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) were investigated to determine the origin of …

In this study, we developed a novel composite material by combining natural diatom
biosilica with Ce-Tb mixed oxide and polyphase quasi-crystalline Tb oxide nanoparticles …
