A Novel Method to Harvest Microalgae Via Fungal Pelletization

Oct 17, 2011
Jianguo Zhang
Microalgae harvest contributes a large portion of cost for microalgae-to-biofuels production. Most current harvest technologies including chemical and mechanical methods are only economically feasible for production of high-value products due to the costs. In this work, we are describing a new...
