Many researchers consider efficient harvesting is the major challenge of commercialising
micro-algal biofuel. Although micro-algal biomass can be 'energy rich', the growth of algae in …

Microalgae harvesting is a major challenge because microalgal cells are small and carry a
negative surface charge and biomass concentration in cultures is relatively low. The …

Biofuel derived from microalgae has developed as an environmentally benign alternative to
conventional fossil fuels. Mass production of this biofuel remains difficult due to several of …

The objective of this report is to present a discussion of the literature review performed on
methods of harvesting microalgae. There is no single best method of harvesting microalgae …

Microalgae dewatering is a major obstruction to industrial-scale processing of microalgae for
biofuel production. The dilute nature of harvested microalgal cultures creates a huge …

This critical review summarizes the utilization of algae as the resilient source for biofuel. The
paper validates the different stages in generation of biofuels and provides a clarity on III …

Excessive use of fossil fuels to satisfy our rapidly increasing energy demand has created
severe environmental problems, such as air pollution, acid rain and global warming …

There has been considerable discussion in recent years about the potential of micro-algae
for the production of sustainable and renewable biofuels, but there may be other more …

The potential of algal biomass as a source of liquid and gaseous biofuels is a highly topical
theme, The process operations for algal biofuel production can be grouped into three areas …

Although the potential for biofuel production from microalgae via photosynthesis has been
intensively investigated, information on the selection of a suitable operation strategy for …
