A response surface methodology (RSM) was used to evaluate the effects of pH and microalgal biomass concentration (BC) on alkaline flocculating activity for harvesting one freshwater green algae <i>Scenedesmus quadricauda</i> #507 and one marine diatom <i>Chaetoceros</i> <i>muelleri</i> #862. The pH value and BC were...
