Dual role of microalgae: Phycoremediation of domestic wastewater and biomass production for sustainable biofuels production
TL;DR: The use of high rate algal ponds (HRAPs) for nutrient removal has been in existence for some decades though the technology has not been fully harnessed for wastewater treatment as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel from microalgae: A critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production
TL;DR: An empirical and critical analysis on the potential of translating research findings from laboratory scale trials to full scale application and current methods for biomass harvesting and lipid extraction are critically evaluated.
Biodiesel from microalgae: a critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production. Appl Energy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an empirical and critical analysis on the potential of translating research findings from laboratory-scale trials to full-scale application in bio-diesel production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploiting diversity and synthetic biology for the production of algal biofuels
TL;DR: Algae biofuels can be a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels if sourced from organisms that can be farmed without using valuable arable land, and strain development and process engineering are needed.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.
E. G. Bligh,W. J. Dyer +1 more
TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.
