Abstract:This study aims to enhance lipid and biofuel productivity from Chlorella minutissima with hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (IONPs) as a growth stimulant. The IONPs were synthesized using chemical method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis to confirm their structure and composition. The experimental setup involved inoculating various concentrations of IONPs (10, 20, and 30 mg·L−1) into the microalgal BG-11 growth medium … Show more
