Extraction of biodiesel from wastewater using microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris

<p>An experimental research on production of biodiesel from lipids chlorella vulgaris has been done through transesterification reaction process. The series cultures carried out and the optimum growth time was determined. synthesis is processed by two steps i.e., isolation lipids. objective study to develop a simultaneous waste water treatment system renewable energy utilizing algal growth. Biofuel batch scale experiments with 10% 15% dilution municipal were in this study. total lipid content biomass ranged 7.5 28.5%. approximate proportions chloroform, methanol upper phase found be ratio 3:48:47 volume lower mixture proportion 86:14:1. concentration reached maximum value 920 mg/L measured terms VSS. nutrient removal, which achieved nearly 100% weight yield per vulgaris, 49.7%. viscosity values heat combustion 1.14 g/cm3 42.50 KJ/g respectively.</p>
