Separation of Microalgae by a Dynamic Bed of Magnetite-Containing Gel in the Application of a Magnetic Field

Microalgae are now known as potential microorganisms in the production of chemicals, fuel, and food. Since microalgae live sea river, they need to be harvested separated cultured for further usage. In this study, separate microalgae, a bed magnetite-containing gel (Mag gel, 190 µm) was packed column by application magnetic field separative elution injected (including mainly four species), at Saga University Japan. The applied set constant dynamic-convex manner. At 0.4–1.1 T, percentage less than 5 µm 30–50%. 1.1 larger-sized were eluted 20%, resulting structural change field. convex-like T ⇄ 0.4 smaller-sized selectively eluted, whereas 0.8 eluted. Dynamic changes leading separation extraction microalgae.
