Nannochloropsis sp. biomass recovery by Electro-Coagulation for biodiesel and pigment production

Optimization of culture media for lipid production by Nannochloropsis oculata for Biodiesel production

Background: This study quantified the effect of four popular culture media in a biodiesel production study on the qualitative and quantitative lipid content, dry biomass, and lipid productivity of Nannochloropsis oculata. Methods: Culture of microalgae was done separately in Walne, F/2, Sato, and TMRL media. In the logarithmic and stationary growth phases, biomass production and lipid accumulat...

Microalgae Biomass Harvesting by Electro- Coagulation

The use microalgae biomass for the production of biofuels has received great attention in the last decades. Microalgae biofuels could be important alternative to conventional biofuels since microalgae could be produced at high rates without the need of neither arable land, potable water or competition with food. However, the high energy intensive harvesting processes are limiting the commercial...

Lipid and Biomass Production by the Halotolerant Microalga Nannochloropsis salina

The effect of environmental factors on cell-lipid content, on the growth rate and on the overall productivity ofNannochloropsis salina was tested in the laboratory and in outdoor cultures. Under optimum conditions in the laboratory, the maximum growth rate (#max.) was 0"030 h -1, which corresponds to a doubling time of 23 h. Cellular lipid content was affected by the phase of growth and the tem...
