Microalgae for biodiesel production and other applications: A review
Sustainable production of renewable energy is being hotly debated globally since it is increasingly understood that first generation biofuels, primarily produced from food crops and mostly oil seeds are limited in their ability to achieve targets for biofuel production, climate changemitigation and economic growth. These concerns have increased the interest in developing second generation biofu...
متن کاملHarvesting and Processing of Microalgae Biomass Fractions for Biodiesel Production (a Review)
There has been a recent resurgent interest in microalgae as an oil producer for biofuel applications. An adequate supply of nutrients and carbon dioxide enables algae to successfully transform light energy of the sun into energy rich chemical compounds through photosynthesis. A strain with high lipids, successfully grown and harvested, could provide oil for most of our process by volume, which ...
متن کاملDual-mode cultivation of Chlorella protothecoides applying inter-reactors gas transfer improves microalgae biodiesel production.
Chlorella protothecoides, a lipid-producing microalga, was grown heterotrophically and autotrophically in separate reactors, the off-gases exiting the former being used to aerate the latter. Autotrophic biomass productivity with the two-reactor association, 0.0249gL(-1)h(-1), was 2.2-fold the value obtained in a control autotrophic culture, aerated with ambient air. Fatty acid productivity was ...
متن کاملLipid Extraction and Transesterification in Microalgae for Biodiesel Production: A Comprehensive Review
Microalgae have been receiving worldwide attention as promising feedstock for production of carbon neutral biodiesel. As an alternative fuel, biodiesel is very imperative for the sustainable development of mankind. Biodiesel production process is generally carried out through upstream and downstream processing to generate cellular biomass, extracted oil and finally transesterification reaction....
متن کاملMicroalgae Isolation and Selection for Prospective Biodiesel Production
Biodiesel production from microalgae is being widely developed at different scales as a potential source of renewable energy with both economic and environmental benefits. Although many microalgae species have been identified and isolated for lipid production, there is currently no consensus as to which species provide the highest productivity. Different species are expected to function best at...
