Evaluation of microalgae cultivation using recovered aqueous co-product from thermochemical liquefaction of algal biomass
TLDR
The ACP stream from the TCL of Spirulina was characterized and evaluated its potential as a nutrient source for cultivation of microalgae and found to have high nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and secondary and micronutrients.About:

Effect of process parameters on production of biochar from biomass waste through pyrolysis: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of pyrolysis process parameters on the production of biochar through biochar of biomass is discussed and a comparison between the existing techniques is established in the present work.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors briefly enlightened a few concepts of HTL such as the elemental composition of bio-crude obtained by HTL, different types of feedstock adopted for HTL processes, possible process flow diagrams of both wet and dry biomass and energy efficiency of the process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass: Developments from batch to continuous process
TL;DR: This review describes the recent results in hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biomass in continuous-flow processing systems, and process models have been developed, and mass and energy balances determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal processing, as an alternative for upgrading agriculture residues and marine biomass according to the biorefinery concept: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the main components of lignocellulosic materials and aquatic biomass (macro-and micro- algae) are discussed and an overview on the fundamentals, modelling, separation, and applications of these components are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of operating conditions of thermochemical liquefaction on biocrude production from Spirulina platensis.
TL;DR: This study investigated the optimum thermochemical liquefaction (TCL) operating conditions for producing biocrude from Spirulina platensis and reported higher hydrocarbons, phenolics, carboxylic acids, esters, aldehydes, amines, and amides.

Determination of accurate extinction coefficients and simultaneous equations for assaying chlorophylls a and b extracted with four different solvents: verification of the concentration of chlorophyll standards by atomic absorption spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction coefficients for chlorophylls a and b in diethylether (Smith, J.H. and Benitez, A.V., eds.), used in this paper as primary standards, were verified by magnesium determination using atomic absorbance spectrophotometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and properties of unicellular blue-green algae (order Chroococcales).
TL;DR: Electron microscopic investigations, together with analytical data on cell wall composition and ribosomal structure, have revealed the common denominators, which are fundamental: bacteria and blue-green algae are the only organisms with cells of the procaryotic type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of microalgal biomass and metabolites: process options and economics
TL;DR: Economics of monoseptic production of microalgae in photobioreactors and the downstream recovery of metabolites are discussed using eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) recovery as a representative case study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel from microalgae beats bioethanol.
TL;DR: Biodiesel from microalgae seems to be the only renewable biofuel that has the potential to completely displace petroleum-derived transport fuels without adversely affecting supply of food and other crop products.
