Microalgae for biodiesel production and other applications: A review
TL;DR: The various aspects associated with the design of microalgae production units are described, giving an overview of the current state of development of algae cultivation systems (photo-bioreactors and open ponds).
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofuels from microalgae—A review of technologies for production, processing, and extractions of biofuels and co-products
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the technologies underpinning microalgae-to-bio-fuels systems, focusing on the biomass production, harvesting, conversion technologies, and the extraction of useful co-products.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 bio-mitigation using microalgae
TL;DR: Combination of CO2 fixation, biofuel production, and wastewater treatment may provide a very promising alternative to current CO2 mitigation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid accumulation and CO2 utilization of Nannochloropsis oculata in response to CO2 aeration.
TL;DR: The results showed that the lipid accumulation from logarithmic phase to stationary phase of N. oculata NCTU-3 was significantly increased, and this microalga was suggested to grow in the semicontinuous system aerated with 2% CO(2) and operated by one-day replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 biofixation and fatty acid composition of Scenedesmus obliquus and Chlorella pyrenoidosa in response to different CO2 levels.
TL;DR: The present results suggested that the two microalgae be appropriate for mitigating CO(2) in the flue gases and biodiesel production.

Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Algal Cultivation Using Wastewater Nutrients
TL;DR: In this article, Chlorella vulgaris was grown in wastewater discharged from a steel-making plant with the aim of developing an economically feasible system to remove ammonia from wastewater and from Nue gas simultaneously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerance of microalgae to high CO2 and high temperature
TL;DR: Scenedesmus was better able to tolerate very high CO2 concentrations than Chlorella, and both algae had about the same growth rate when the CO2 concentration was in the range 10–30%.
