Carbon dioxide to bio-oil in a bioelectrochemical system-assisted microalgae biorefinery process

Microwave-Assisted Extraction for Microalgae: From Biofuels to Biorefinery

The commercial reality of bioactive compounds and oil production from microalgal species is constrained by the high cost of production. Downstream processing, which includes harvesting and extraction, can account for 70-80% of the total cost of production. Consequently, from an economic perspective extraction technologies need to be improved. Microalgal cells are difficult to disrupt due to pol...

Microalgae Tolerance to High Concentrations of Carbon Dioxide: A Review

The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is considered to be one of the main causes of the global warming problem. Moreover, there is an international movement to reduce the emission of CO2 by imposing different measures such as carbon tax. Biological CO2 fixation has been extensively investigated as part of efforts to solve the global warming problem. Microalgae a...

Current Aspects of Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Microalgae in Korea

The carbon dioxide fixation by microalgae has several merits such as the COz recovery and the production of useful chemicals. Since the flue gas from a industry has some unfavorable conditions such a s high CQ concentration and toxic chemicals like SO., NO, contained in flue gas for the cultivation of m s t microalgae, it is important to apply a suitable strain of microalgae for the fixation of...

Exergy and Energy Analysis of Effective Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in the Gas-to-Methanol Process

Two process models are used to convert carbon dioxide into methanol. These processes have been extended and improved using Aspen Plus simulator software. Both processes are found in the CO2 correction system. In this machine, the desired synthesis gas is produced in a flexible configuration. At the same time, the conversion of CO2 to hydrogen via a copper-based catalyst ha...
