Lignocellulosic biomass, microalgae and sewage sludge have distinct compositions and structures to each other. To … (lignocellulosic biomass), Spirulina (microalgae) and sewage sludge were comparatively studied. Liquefaction experiments were performed …

production from microalgae processes. We have investigated different alternatives to maximize the energy recoveries of each … microalgae and nutrients, working conditions, systemization and equipment requirements were obtained using both literature and … when the nitrogen needed for microalgae growth is obtained from wastewaters. Favorable EROEI figures could be calculated. …

Biodiesel production from microalgae has recently increased on interest. The objective of this work is to explore the … potential of biodiesel production from the microalgae Isochrysis galbana (T-ISO). For that reason, this microalgae was … to use for biodiesel synthesis by means of basic-catalyzed reaction. For transesterification, microalgae oil was mixed …

Interest in the use of microalgae for the production of biofuels has grown in recent years. Biomethane is a biofuel … selection of freshwater (n=15) and marine (n=5) microalgae were tested in order to identify a microalgal strain that could be … freshwater microalgae (329±43mL CH4/g TVS) and marine microalgae (298±83mL CH4/g TVS) although it varied greatly within the …

Microalgae have the potential to be the feedstock for biofuels and laboratory scale electroflocculation was studied as … a harvesting technique for marine microalgae. The effects of the electrode separation and mechanical mixing on the … other harvesting techniques for marine microalgae. …

This paper determines the energy consumption ratio and overall bio-energy production costs of micro-algae cultivation …, harvesting and conversion to secondary energy carriers, thus helping to clarify future perspectives of micro-algae production for … energy purposes. A limitation growth model is developed, which determines the productivity of micro-algae for different …

Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms living in marine or freshwater environment. In this study, samples of …). Both microalgae samples were characterized in terms of elemental composition (CHONS and P) and thermogravimetric behavior … processes of microalgae. …
