متن کاملHydrocracking of the oils of Botryococcus braunii to transport fuels.
Hydrocarbon oils of the alga Botryococcus braunii, extracted from a natural "bloom" of the plant, have been hydrocracked to produce a distillate comprising 67% gasoline fraction, 15% aviation turbine fuel fraction, 15% diesel fuel fraction, and 3% residual oil. The distillate was examined by a number of standard petroleum industry test methods. This preliminary investigation indicates that the ...
متن کاملBotryococcus braunii: a renewable source of hydrocarbons and other chemicals.
Botryococcus braunii, a green colonial microalga, is an unusually rich renewable source of hydrocarbons and other chemicals. Hydrocarbons can constitute up to 75% of the dry mass of B. braunii. This review details the various facets of biotechnology of B. braunii, including its microbiology and physiology; production of hydrocarbons and other compounds by the alga; methods of culture; downstrea...
متن کاملProduction of biofuel by using micro algae (Botryococcus braunii)
Microalgae are photosynthetic, heterotrophic organisms that have an extraordinary potential for cultivation as energy crops. Microalgae are potential source of biomass, which may have great biodiversity and consequent variability in their biochemical composition (Satyanarayana et al., 2011). Under difficult agro-climatic conditions and are able to produce a wide range of commercially interestin...
متن کاملSeawater-Cultured Botryococcus braunii for Efficient Hydrocarbon Extraction
UNLABELLED As a potential source of biofuel, the green colonial microalga Botryococcus braunii produces large amounts of hydrocarbons that are accumulated in the extracellular matrix. Generally, pretreatment such as drying or heating of wet algae is needed for sufficient recoveries of hydrocarbons from B. braunii using organic solvents. In this study, the Showa strain of B. braunii was cultured...
