Dual role of microalgae: Phycoremediation of domestic wastewater and biomass production for sustainable biofuels production
TL;DR: The use of high rate algal ponds (HRAPs) for nutrient removal has been in existence for some decades though the technology has not been fully harnessed for wastewater treatment as mentioned in this paper.

Potential yields and properties of oil from the hydrothermal liquefaction of microalgae with different biochemical content.
Patrick Biller,Andrew B. Ross +1 more
TL;DR: Broad agreement is reached between predictive yields and actual yields for the microalgae based on their biochemical composition, and the yields of bio-crude follow the trend lipids>proteins>carbohydrates.

Microalgae biofuels: A critical review of issues, problems and the way forward
Man Kee Lam,Keat Teong Lee +1 more
TL;DR: The practical problems that are facing the microalgae biofuel industry will be depicted, covering upstream to downstream activities by accessing the latest research reports and critical data analysis and several interlink solutions to the problems will be suggested with the purpose to revolutionize the entire microAlgae Biofuel industry towards long-term sustainability.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of the organic and inorganic phase composition of biomass
TL;DR: An extended overview of the organic and inorganic phase composition of biomass was conducted in this article, where reference peer-reviewed data and own investigations for various minor organic components and minerals, and modes of element occurrence identified in biomass were also applied and organized to describe the biomass systematically.
