Review of biological and engineering aspects of algae to fuels approach

TL;DR: Chen et al. as mentioned in this paper provided an overview of the biological and engineering aspects in the production and processing technologies and recent advances in research and development in the algae to fuels approach, covering biology, selection and genetic modification of algae species and strains, production systems design, culture media and light management, harvest and dewatering, downstream processing, and environment and economic assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polylactic acid (PLA) synthesis and modifications: a review

TL;DR: In this article, various methods of synthesizing polycondensation and ring-opening polymerization and modifying properties of polylactic acid (PLA), which may be used as biomaterials, such as a drug carrier in a drug delivery system, as a cell scaffold and suture in tissue engineering, and as packaging materials in packaging engineering field.
Journal ArticleDOI

A hetero-photoautotrophic two-stage cultivation process to improve wastewater nutrient removal and enhance algal lipid accumulation

TL;DR: A hetero-photoautotrophic algal growth model was studied for improved wastewater treatment and low cost algal biofuel feedstock production and can be used to treat organic-rich wastewaters (e.g. industrial and animal manure wastewater) to achieve the dual purpose of low-cost wastewater treatment
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Fungal Pelletization-Assisted Technology for Algae Harvesting and Wastewater Treatment

TL;DR: The results showed that pH was the key factor affecting formation of fungi–algae pellet, and pH could be controlled by adjusting glucose concentration and fungal spore number added, and the best pelletization happened when adding 20 g/L glucose and approximately 1.2E8/L spores in BG-11 medium.
