Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiodiesel Fuel Production from Algae as Renewable EnergyA.B.M. Sharif Hossain, Aishah Salleh, Amru Nasrulhaq Boyce et al.Biodiesel is biodegradable, less CO2 and NOx emissions. Continuous use of petroleum sourced fuels is now widely recognized as unsustainable because of depleting supplies and the contribution of these fuels to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the environment. Renewable, carbon neutral, transport fuels are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. Algae have emerged as one of the most promising … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 32,063 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMixed-Polarity Azeotropic Solvents for Efficient Extraction of Lipids from Nannochloropsis MicroalgaeRobert D. Long, Elseddik AbdelkaderProblem statement: The extraction of lipids from microalgae for biofuel production is a significant problem due to the intractability of their cell wall. The aim of this study of lipid extraction from Nannochloropsis microalgae was to examine the relative efficiencies of some commonly used solvent systems and test the use of co-boiling solvents in Soxhlet extraction as an improved method. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 12 Aug 2011 · 9,387 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFuel Crisis vis-à-vis Green FuelSusmita KamilaThe real sense of crisis often leads to bring some changes for betterment of society. We are in an age, where every day we are facing the crisis of energy. Decisions on current energy as well as fuel crisis in right direction can bring about a better, more sustainable future for our planet. We have huge opportunities and scope for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2019 · 7,248 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Salinity, pH, Light Intensity on Growth and Lipid Production of Microalgae for Bioenergy ApplicationMonika Prakash Rai, Trishnamoni Gautom, Nikunj SharmaThe crisis of energy producing molecules (fuels) is expected to increase in future, which is currently produced from crude mineral oil. Biodiesel is most reliable, non-toxic, biocompatible liquid fuel that can replace the existing unsustainable sources of energy. Among all the known sources, microalgae display high potential for the production of biodiesel owing to their numerous benefits like higher biomass … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2015 · 16,789 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Light Exposure and Nitrogen Source on the Production of Oil from Freshwater and Marine Water MicroalgaeMariam Al Hattab, Abdel GhalyThe biomass yield and oil content of Chlorella saccharophila (freshwater) and Tetraselmis suecica (marine) microalgae were investigated using various nitrogen source (ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate and combination of nutrients) at various light durations (9, 16 and 24 h). NaHCO3 was used as the carbon source. The nitrogen concentration, temperature and pH were maintained at 70 mg/L, 22°C and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 8 Dec 2014 · 7,265 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCorrelation of Biodiversity of Algal Genera with Special Reference to the Waste Water Effluents from IndustriesRitu Singh Rajput, Sonali Pandey, Seema BhadauriaPollution is the introduction of contaminants, which cause adverse change, into the natural environment and mainly from external inputs like sewage, waste from industries, oil spills and agricultural use of pesticides. Anthropogenic activity-reflected in the use of toxic metals and organic pollutants-has increased levels of soil contamination and damage to aquatic systems. Ecosystems maintain water quality and withstand pressure from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2016 · 8,608 accessesView PDF Cite
