Assessment and comparison of the properties of biodiesel synthesized from three different types of wet microalgal biomass

Abstract: In recent years, microalgae-based carbon-neutral biofuels (i.e., biodiesel) have gained considerable interest due to high growth rate and higher lipid productivity of microalgae during the whole year, delivering continuous bio-mass production as compared to vegetable-based feedstocks. Therefore, biodiesel was synthesized from three different microalgal species, namely Tetraselmis sp. (Chlorophyta) and Nannochloropsis oculata and Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Heterokontophyta), and the fuel properties of the biodi… Show more

“…Such oxidative stability is probably related with the FAME profile of CTP4 and consequently of the produced biodiesel that revealed only trace values of long-chain PUFA, and high contents of palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids, accounting for nearly 75% of the TFA. The FAME profile of the biodiesel produced from CTP4 presents a lower degree of unsaturation than those of other Tetraselmis strains previously published in the literature 10 31 43 44 . The same is observed when the lipid profile of CTP4 is compared with that of most common commercial strains of microalgae, such as Nannochloropsis oculata and Phaeodactylum tricornutum 10 .…”
