• Microalgae harvesting is a major bottleneck to microalgae-based biofuel production. Flocculation the most versatile, energy-efficient and cost-efficient process. Polyacrylamides exhibit high performance at different operation scales. Comprehensive analysis of polyacrylamide-microalgae flocculation was presented. Properties polyacrylamide microalgae culture influence biomass touted as highly p...

Efficient microalgae harvesting is a great challenge hindering diverse industrial applications of microalgae. Flocculation regarded as an effective and promising technology for harvesting. In this study, sulfate (Al2(SO4)3 Fe2(SO4)3) chloride flocculants (AlCl3 FeCl3) were used to harvest Chlorella vulgaris. conditions, including flocculant dose, flocculation time, stirring speed, pH, optimized...

Wastewater treatment plants are increasingly interested in adopting inorganic coagulants and organic flocculants their sludge process since disposal costs more than half of the overall operational costs. This study synthesized poly titanium sulfate (PTS) by different molar ratios used best one with cellulose-based for conditioning. PTS a 1:2 ratio showed lowest capillary suction time (CST) was ...
