Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal processing, as an alternative for upgrading agriculture residues and marine biomass according to the biorefinery concept: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the main components of lignocellulosic materials and aquatic biomass (macro-and micro- algae) are discussed and an overview on the fundamentals, modelling, separation, and applications of these components are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient limitation as a strategy for increasing starch accumulation in microalgae
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated starch accumulation in Chlorella vulgaris P12 under different initial concentrations of nitrogen (0−2.2 ) and iron (0 −0.08 ) sources, using a central composite design (CCD) for two factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixotrophic cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris using industrial dairy waste as organic carbon source.
TL;DR: Mixotrophic cultivation of C. vulgaris using the main dairy industry by-product could be considered a feasible alternative to reduce the costs of microalgal biomass production, since it does not require the addition of expensive carbohydrates to the culture medium.
Book Chapter
Third generation biofuels from microalgae
TL;DR: Microalgae are currently being promoted as an ideal third generation biofuel feedstock because of their rapid growth rate, CO and low greenhouse gas emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of CO2 bio-mitigation by Chlorella vulgaris
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that optimization of microalgal cultivation conditions can be considered a useful strategy for maximizing CO2 bio-mitigation by C. vulgaris.
