This study applies individual and combined application of ultrasound and ozone pretreatments for the tandem recovery of microalgae biocompounds (lipids, proteins, and, carbohydrates) and phosphorus from Scenedesmus obliquus cultivated in wastewater. Results of individual application showed that ultrasound released protein to the aqueous phase (99 ± 3%), and increased microalgal lipid viability from 11 to 90 ± 2%. Whilst ozone pretreatment induced carbohydrate release to the aqueous phase 28 ± 1%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
