Journal ArticleDOI
Effective extraction of microalgae lipids from wet biomass for biodiesel production
TL;DR: Results showed that lyso enzyme and cellulase were both efficient in disrupting cell walls and enhancing lipid extraction from wet samples, with highest lipid extraction yield of 16.6% achieved using lysozyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of Enzymatic Transesterification of Microalgal Oil-Based Biodiesel Using Supercritical Technology
TL;DR: Conventional biodiesel production with first generation feedstock, using chemical catalysts and solvent-extraction, is compared to new technologies with an emphasis on using microalgae, immobilized lipase, and SC-CO2 as an extraction solvent and reaction media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of microalgae lipid: Process optimization and laboratory scale-up
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of biomass pre-treatment prior to extraction and extracting conditions, namely pressure in the range of 200-500 bar, temperatures in range of 35-65°C and CO 2 flow rate in the ranges of 1.38-4.02 gmin −1, on SC-CO 2 extraction yield and quality of lipid were investigated and compared to conventional extraction methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on the lactic acid fermentation from low-cost renewable materials: Recent developments and challenges
TL;DR: In this article, the most recent advancements and challenges in pure lactic acid production from various substrates and conventional processes, including pretreatment and enzymes hydrolysis and fermentative technologies are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Date seeds biomass-derived activated carbon for efficient removal of NaCl from saline solution
TL;DR: In this paper, high performance capacitive deionization (CDI) electrodes were developed from DSAC-1:1.5 sample for desalting NaCl from saline solution.
