Dewatering of microalgal cultures : a major bottleneck to algae-based fuels
TL;DR: In this paper, various technologies currently used for dewatering microalgal cultures along with a comparative study of the performances of the different technologies are reviewed and compared, as well as a comparison of the performance of different technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astaxanthin-Producing Green Microalga Haematococcus pluvialis: From Single Cell to High Value Commercial Products.
TL;DR: Important and recent developments ranging from cultivation, harvest and postharvest bio-processing technologies to metabolic control and genetic engineering are reviewed in detail, focusing on biomass and astaxanthin production from this biotechnologically important microalga.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges and opportunities in improving the production of bio-ethanol
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a tentative economic assessment of bio-ethanol production, with production costs not only depending on the extent of applying process improvements, but also on the raw material used in the process.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.
E. G. Bligh,W. J. Dyer +1 more
TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel from microalgae.
TL;DR: As demonstrated here, microalgae appear to be the only source of renewable biodiesel that is capable of meeting the global demand for transport fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.
Ye Sun,Jiayang Cheng +1 more
TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
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).
