The Effect of Bioflocculants and Cationic Inducers Concentration on Harvesting Chlorella vulgaris Biomass Using Fungal Aspergillus niger Bioflocculation Method
Abstract:Energy consumption from non-renewable fuels is increasing, so there is a need for a new energy source from microalgae. The microalgae Chlorella vulgaris has a high lipid content ranging from 2-77% of the dry weight of the biomass, but it small size, ranging from 2-10 micrometers, which makes it uneconomical at the harvesting stage. One of the cheaper, effective, and environmentally-friendly harvesting methods is bioflocculation. The bioflocculation was carried out using the help of fungi by activating Extracel… Show more
