The energy demands and costs of harvesting microalgal biomass make it unrealistic and
unsustainable for economically feasible microalgal biofuel production. Therefore, meticulous …

Flocculation is a water and wastewater treatment technology whereby the large aggregation
of flocs in water can be formed and be later separated through sedimentation. This review …

Microalgal biomass is processed into products by two main process steps: 1) harvesting and
dewatering; and 2) extraction, fractionation and conversion. The performance of unit …

The rapid growth of human population has led to mounting energy demands, which is
projected to increase by 50% or more by 2030. The natural petroleum can not catch-up the …

Microalgae have been considered as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production, since its
cultivation uses less land than other traditional oil crops and has a higher growth rate. A …

Research studies on microalgae have increased in the last decades due to the wide range
of applications associated to these photosynthetic microorganisms. Microalgae are an …

Microalgal biodiesel has emerged as an environment friendly alternative to the existing
fossil fuels. The commercial production of this biodiesel is still challenging due to several …

The increasing occurrence of harmful algae blooms globally poses significant challenges to
water management. In water treatment utilities, coagulation is the first treatment process of …

Economically viable microalgal biodiesel production is unrealistic and unsustainable owing
to expensive harvesting or dewatering techniques. Hence, immense and meticulous …

A switch from a petroleum-based to a biobased economy requires the capacity to produce
both high-value low-volume and low-value high-volume products. Recent evidence supports …
