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:

Simultaneous harvesting and extracellular polymeric substances extrusion of microalgae using surfactant: Promoting surfactant-assisted flocculation through pH adjustment.
TL;DR: In this research, the use of four different types of surfactants on biomass harvesting and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) extrusion of Chlorella sorokiniana sp was investigated to improve flocculation efficiency through the combined mechanism of charge neutralization, bridging and sweeping.

Simultaneously concentrating and pretreating of microalgae Chlorella spp. by three-phase partitioning.
TL;DR: Temperature, initial concentration and ratio of ethanol to dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (DKP) were observed to negatively correlate with concentration factor while pH showed no significant influences, demonstrating the feasibility of TPP for microalgae biodiesel production.

Evaluation of optimal conditions for cultivation of marine Chlorella sp. as potential sources of lipids, exopolymeric substances and pigments
TL;DR: It is shown that the microalgal lipid and EPS have potential to be used as biodiesel feedstocks and bioflocculants, respectively and the concomitant production of these valuable products together with the microAlgal biomass would be a potential way to offset the production cost and contribute greatly to developing industrialized microalgae cultivation.
