Journal ArticleDOI
Flocculation as a low-cost method for harvesting microalgae for bulk biomass production.
TL;DR: The challenges and possible solutions for flocculation are overviewed, which are seen as a promising low-cost harvesting method for flocculating microalgae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of an Analytical Procedure for Extraction of Lipids from Microalgae
TL;DR: Chloroform–methanol 1:1 was shown to be the best solvent mixture for extraction of total lipids from microalgae and determination of non-polar lipid content should be performed by separation of the total lipid extract on an SPE column.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant potential of microalgae in relation to their phenolic and carotenoid content
TL;DR: It was found that industrially cultivated samples of Tetraselmis suecica, Botryococcus braunii, Neochloris oleoabundans, Isochrysis sp.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that flocculation can be induced by increasing medium pH to 11.5 and is therefore a potentially useful method to preconcentrate freshwater microalgal biomass during harvesting.
Journal Article
Flocculation of microalgae using cationic starch
TL;DR: Of the two commercial cationic starch flocculants tested, Greenfloc 120 (used in wastewater treatment) was more efficient than Cargill C*Bond HR 35.849 ( used in paper manufacturing), and measurements of the maximum quantum yield of PSII suggest that GreenFloc 120 cationIC starch was not toxic to Parachlorella.
