Microalgal bio refinery process optimization and intensification for production of lipids and other value added products

Abstract

A potential and promising green liquid fuel is biodiesel which can be blended with petroleum diesel The new and economic alternate feedstocks for biodiesel include microalgal lipids Simultaneously microalgae are promising producers of various other biofuels such as bioethanol glycerol and biomaterials This thesis has assessed the potential of a natural freshwater microalgal strain for bio refinery that produces biodiesel bioethanol b carotene and glycerol A native freshwater microalgae...
