In this paper, we demonstrate how pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment of microalgae biomass opens promising downstream processing options for an energetic use of algae. The fact that lipid droplets remain intracellular after treatment facilitates selective processing. After separation of the water-soluble cell contents, the algae lipids can be extracted with adequate solvents. The use of the env...Show More
Global warming, energy security, and increasing energy demand motivate renewable energy research.1, 2 Algal-based biodiesel can provide direct fuel substitutes for transportation and heating while significantly reducing land-use demands.2 However, low lipid extraction efficiencies and prohibitive costs prevent large-scale industrialization of algal biodiesel.1 Various cell disruption methods have ...Show More
In early 1980's microalgae were proposed as a source of energy, chemicals, and pharmaceutical compounds (vitamins, fatty acids, etc.). This necessitated culture of microalgae in synthetic media or wastewater treatment ponds and the subsequent extraction of the compounds from the biomass. The present study was initiated in response to the increasing need for experimental data regarding microalgal l...
