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:
