Microalgae have been widely explored because of the diverse number of their worthwhile
applications and potential as a source biomass for the production of biofuels and value …

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 …

The correct description of the particulates produced via the flame spray pyrolysis (FSP)
process is essential for scale-up studies and new reactor design. With the combination of …

Abstract Design and optimization of microalgae processes have traditionally relied on the
application of unsegregated mathematical models, thus neglecting the impact of cell-to-cell …

Microalgae are versatile microorganisms with applications in food, energy and fine
chemicals, among others. Modelling the dynamics of microalgae inside a photobioreactor is …

A better estimation of the density of cells has great relevance in the design of harvesting
units. In the case of microalgae, the density is a function of the internal composition, which in …

Cultivation of microalgae with high lipid content continues to be pursued as a potential
biodiesel feedstock. Processing of microalgae biomass is not sufficiently cost-efficient to …

A good understanding of population dynamics can give relevant insights and process
understanding to improve the production of microalgae. To this end, population balance …

In this paper, a mathematical model is developed for microalgae filtration by applying
Population Balance Equation. The main objective is to investigate the impacts of cell size …
