The world population is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050 according a report the United Nations. global demand for alternative proteins from different sources, such as microalgae, mycoproteins, insects, cell-based, cultured meat, meat substitutes, dairy alternatives, and fungi-based proteins, projected USD 290 2035. Due their similar characteristics, offered at relatively more affordable cost than animal plant-based are experiencing significant demand. In recent years, industrial...
Abstract This paper presents a life cycle assessment ( LCA ) of industrial scale microalgae biomass production in compact photobioreactor PBR systems (2 × 5 8 m) for supplying biofuel/electricity generation processes and synthesis new materials. Other objectives are as follows: (i) to compare the impact various raw materials, substances, services; (ii) evaluate environment‐relevant aspects proposed system compared raceway ponds. The inventory shows that only atmospheric CO 2 is used...
Extracellular lipases from the endophytic yeast Candida guilliermondii isolated castor leaves (Ricinus communis L.) were produced using low-cost raw materials such as agro-industrial residues and applying them in esterification of oleic acid for evaluating their potential use biodiesel production. After partial purification ammonium sulfate, enzyme was characterized presented higher activity (26.8 ± 1.5 U mL-1) presence 5 mmol L-1 NaCl at 30 ºC pH 6.5. The production through submerged...
Abstract This study evaluated the ability of Tanfloc SG flocculation to recover microalgae biomass cultivated in a tubular photobioreactor using swine wastewater effluent as culture media pilot‐scale production plant. The objective function was efficiency (η f ), which by central composite design (CCD) experiments varied concentration (TC) and pH. Subsequently, recoveries highly efficient flocculants recommended literature CCD conditions were compared. maximum (96.7 ± 1.0 %) obtained for...
This work presents a simplified modeling and simulation approach for energy systems engineering that is capable of providing quick accurate responses during system design. For that, the laws conservation are combined with available empirical theoretical correlations to quantify diverse types flows cross produce tridimensional mathematical model, namely volume element model (VEM). The physical domain interest discretized in space, thus producing algebraic ODEs respect time, whose solution...
