Biocrude oil production from a self-settling marine cyanobacterium, Chroococcidiopsis sp., using a biorefinery approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Although the whole microalgal biomass is typically used as a feedstock for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), the conversion of a primary metabolite (i.e., carbohydrate) to biocrude is very low. In this study, a self-settling ...
Effect of harvesting methods on the energy requirement of Tetraselmis sp. biomass production and biocrude yield and quality
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
A halo-tolerant Tetraselmis sp. was grown in a 100,000 L raceway pond in the Qatari desert environment. As the biomass density reached 0.679 g/L, after 7 days, five different harvesting methods (i.e., cross-flow filtration, ...
