Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMixed-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

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarvesting Chaetoceros Calcitrans and Nannochloropsis sp. Via ElectroflocculationNitin Raut, Dinesh Kumar Saini, Reena VaidyaThe efficiency of harvesting the algal biomass plays a dominant role in the production of biodiesel from microalgae. On a commercial scale the choice and efficiency of the harvesting techniques may be a deciding factor for economic viability of this renewable energy source. The highly energy intensive centrifugation and filtration process are followed by flocculation for harvesting microalgae. Therefore the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,719 accessesView PDF Cite
