Drying Techniques of Microalgal Biomass: A Review
Gyu Min Kim,Young-Kee Kim +1 more
TL;DR: As drying processes comprise the largest portion of microalgae processing cost, an efficient drying technique is key to the utilization of microalgal biomass.
Assessing Auto-flocculation of Microalgae in Wastewater Treatment
TL;DR: This project explored the effect of auto-flocculation in microalgae when wastewater is used as nutrient source and showed that growing the self-flocculating algae Scenedesmus dimorphus with Chlorella vulgaris did not result in an increase of recovery efficiency from the wastewater after nine hours of sedimentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Economics of Aquatic Plants: The Case of Algae and Duckweed
TL;DR: In this paper , a review examines global microalgae, seaweeds, and duckweed (MSD) production status and trends, highlighting a variety of constraints and barriers over the sector's sustainable development.
Dissertation
Enhancing efficiency of biofuels from microalgae using a statistical and mathematical approach.
TL;DR: The Declaration of Plagiarism as mentioned in this paper was the first formal declaration of plagiarism and its application to the concept of pseudonyms and pseudonyms, and includes a table of references.

Identification and Characterization of a New Microalga Dysmorphococcus globosus-HI from the Himalayan Region as a Potential Source of Natural Astaxanthin
Shashi Kumar,08065912405 +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a new algal strain was isolated from the Indian foothills of the Himalayas by morphological and DNA barcode studies, which is a unicellular spheroidal cell-shaped alga with 100-200 μm diameter.

Biofuels from microalgae—A review of technologies for production, processing, and extractions of biofuels and co-products
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the technologies underpinning microalgae-to-bio-fuels systems, focusing on the biomass production, harvesting, conversion technologies, and the extraction of useful co-products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of anaerobic digestion process: A review
TL;DR: This review provides a detailed summary of the research conducted on the inhibition of anaerobic processes and indicates that co-digestion with other waste, adaptation of microorganisms to inhibitory substances, and incorporation of methods to remove or counteract toxicants before an aerobic digestion can significantly improve the waste treatment efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
