Microalgae have great potential as a feedstock for the production of a wide range of end-
products under the broad concept of biorefinery. In an earlier work, we proposed a …

Microalgal biomass is processed into products by two main process steps: 1) harvesting and
dewatering; and 2) extraction, fractionation and conversion. The performance of unit …

In the context of global advancements, the imperative of a sustainable energy supply looms
large. Biomass, an adaptable and renewable resource, has garnered attention for its …

The increasing consumption of fossil fuels has many destructive effects on the environment.
The development of a microalgae-based biorefinery is one of the most promising solutions …

Microalgae, which are promising candidates for biodiesel production, possess a robust cell
wall which prevents the release of intracellular lipids in the medium. The breaking of the …

Polydiacetylenes are deeply investigated for their mechanofluorochromic behavior: the blue,
non‐emitting solid phase, obtained by photopolymerization of the diacetylene precursor, is …

Environmental impact is an essential aspect for the introduction of algae production systems.
As information of large scale algae production is hardly available, process simulation is the …

One way envisioned to overcome part of the issues biodiesel production encounters today is

Renewable diesel productions through HTL (hydrothermal liquefaction) and pyrolysis of
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were compared based on energetic and economic evaluation …

Previously, it has been observed that lipolysis occurring during (even short term) wet storage
of microalgal biomass causes high free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations in the biomass …
