Algae – A quintessential and positive resource of bioethanol production: A comprehensive review

Algae as an Important Resource of Natural Products of Medical and Biotechnological Importance: A Mini-Review

“…Recent reports in the literature suggest increasing interests in the use of macroalgae as new biomass resources and stable feedstock for the production of bioethanol. 22,23 Despite the abundant reports on algal bioactive compounds, several species of microalgae and macroalgae are yet to be explored or even identified, and we conclude that more sustained exploration of algal biodiversity of all niches, including extreme environments, is imperative to unravel what promise to be invaluable treasures of new natural products of medical and biotechnological importance.…”

What can be done with microbubbles generated by a fluidic oscillator? (survey)

“…Imitating the same procedure at an industrial scale can solve the grave problems of geopolitics -the unbalance between the countries possessing the crude oil sources and those that are the largest consumers. A recent comprehensive review of the tasks and problems aiming at the particular case of bioethanol is available in [11] and more general recent progress in developing oil from algae is discussed in [12]. Pilot scale studies and specifically a design of an airlift bioreactor for the algae growing purpose with fluidic oscillator induced microbubbles are described in detail in.…”

Algal biomass as fuel for stacked‐MFCs for profitable, sustainable and carbon neutral bioenergy generation

“…In recent years, MFC and algae technology have been combined, attending not only to the carbon‐neutral electric power generation but also to the possibility of obtaining a self‐sustainable source of energy . The ability of algae cultures to produce biomass from the Sun and CO 2 only, and to release oxygen by photosynthetic process make them very interesting for use as fuel for MFCs . The released oxygen could be used as electron acceptor in the cathode compartment, increasing the sustainability of the technology, and decreasing the operational costs because no mechanical aeration would be required .…”
