Over the past ten years a great deal of literature has focused on the biotechnological
potential of microalgal commercial applications, mainly in the field of biofuel production …

This article is a critical review of the state-of-the-art of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
used to investigate bioreactors that produce biomethane and biohydrogen by means of …

In this study, it was discussed the possibilities of integrating biorefineries based on different
generations of feedstock. The potential of using CO 2-rich streams was analyzed for the …

Bacteria play an indispensable role in marine biogeochemistry by recycling dissolved
organic matter. Motile species can exploit small, ephemeral solute patches through …

Microalgae production in culture systems has been a topic of intense study for a long time.
Optimization of cultivation conditions and design parameters of photobioreactors are …

Flat‐plate photobioreactors (FPPBRs) are widely reported for cultivation of microalgae. In
this work, a novel FPPBR mounted with inclined baffles was developed, which can make the …

Microalgae are a potential solution to supersede fossil fuels and produce renewable energy.
The major obstacle to the commercialization of microalgae-based biofuels is the high …

Keeping an appropriate mixing state of the multiphase flows in photobioreactors (PBRs) is a
key issue for the optimal design and operation of the PBRs. In the present study, an …

Closed photobioreactors have to be optimized in terms of light utilization and overall
photosynthesis rate. A simple model coupling the hydrodynamics and the photosynthesis …

A framework model is proposed to evaluate the actual overall growth rate of microalgae in
an outdoor tubular photobioreactor. A Monte Carlo-based radiative transfer modeling …
