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:

Effect of different organic matters on flocculation of Chlorella sorokiniana and optimization of flocculation conditions in swine manure wastewater.
Bo Zhang,San-Feng Chen +1 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the minimum amount of Al(3+) required for complete flocculation in wastewater would increase substantially, andFlocculation efficiency became highly sensitive to pH, and the major factors: dilution times, pH and flocculants dosage, which had significant impact on flocculations efficiency of C. sorokiniana were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM).
