Although microalgae are considered as a promising feedstock for biofuels, the energy efficiency of production process needs to be significantly improved. Due their small size and low concentration in culture medium, cost-efficient harvesting is major challenge. In this study, use electro-coagulation-flocculation (ECF) method freshwater (Chlorella vulgaris) marine (Phaeodactylum tricornutum) microalgal species evaluated. ECF was shown more efficient using an aluminum anode than iron anode....
3D-printed hydrocyclones are low-cost microdevices which be part of a library standardized active and passive microfluidic components, suitable for particle–liquid separation.
Cellulose nanocrystals were grafted with imidazole functionalities (DS 0.06) producing a CO<sub>2</sub>-responsive flocculant for microalgal biomass. The resulting induced flocculation of <italic>Chlorella vulgaris</italic> up to 90% efficiency.
