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:

A Framework for Sustainable Design of Algal Biorefineries: Economic Aspects and Life Cycle Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a framework for sustainable design of algal biorefineries with respect to economic and environmental objectives is presented, where the sustainable design problem is formulated mathematically as a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem, and is solved first to identify the optimal designs with a view to economic optimality, then analyzed further in terms of environmental performance using life cycle analysis.
