Evaluation of flocculation induced by pH increase for harvesting microalgae and reuse of flocculated medium
TLDR
This study revealed that the microalgal biomass concentrations and released polysaccharide from microalgae could influence the flocculation efficiencies, and neutralizing pH and then supplementing nutrients allowed the flocculated medium to maintain an approximate growth yield to that of the fresh medium in algal cultivation.About:

Mass harvesting of marine microalgae using different techniques
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide further details of each method used focusing only for marine species of microalgae with their respective advantages and disadvantages, whereas their cost and energy requirement vary accordingly depending on the selection of marine microalgal strains, equipment used and/or the choice of harvesting aid (flocculants, surfactant).

Urban wastewater photobiotreatment with microalgae in a continuously operated photobioreactor: growth, nutrient removal kinetics and biomass coagulation-flocculation.
TL;DR: Investigation of the growth, nutrient removal and harvesting of a natural microalgae bloom cultivated in urban wastewater in a bubble column photobioreactor indicated that PAC, Fe2(SO4)3 and Al3(SO3)3 were the best options from an economical point of view for microalgAE harvesting.
