“…[2] reported lipid content of 16.41% and 15.31% for C. vulgaris and N. oculata, respectively. While [4] reported lipid content of 15.1%, 16.2%, 15.9%, and 16.2% to Scenedesmus sp., Haematococcus sp., Chlorella sp., and Nannochloropsis sp., respectively, much lower than that obtained in this study (29.3%), as can be noticed. Similar result was obtained by [20] using Chlorella sp., which accumulated 31.2% of lipid.…”

“…Main fatty acid composition of S. obliquus cultivated with 2.5% CO 2 by [3] were C16 and C18 groups, which accounted for 76% -84% of the total fatty acids. The report of [4] showed very high C16 and C18 series content to Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp., Haematococcus sp., and Nannochloropsis sp., 97.5%, 95%, 89.5% and 83%, respectively. It is already clear that the FAME profile have to be in agreement with the desirable biodiesel properties.…”

“…Moreover, the biomass produced by photosynthetic microalgae can be transformed into a wide range of valuable products, such as biofuels, foods additives, health-care products, and so on, giving additional benefits from microalgal CO 2 reduction process [3]. Thus, algae have been suggested as a very good candidate for biofuel production [4].…”

The effects of nitrogen, phosphorus and vitamin on growth and lipid content of a freshwater microalgae Scenedesmus sp. were investigated under indoor conditions. Nitrogen, phosphorus and vitamin presented significant statistical effect on lipid content, and a maximum lipid content of 29.3% was obtained, corresponded to increases of 90% when compared to those obtained with the original nutrients medium. On the other hand, only nitrogen and phosphorus presented significant statistical effect on cell growth, achieving ash free dry biomass, algal density, and specific growth rate of 1.3 g•L −1 , 1.5E+07 cells mL −1 , and 0.62 d −1 , respectively. By the use of the desirability function, it was possible to maximize the cell growth and lipid content simultaneously. The fatty acid composition of the microalgal lipid comprises over 80% of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Thus, Scenedesmus sp. biomass could be used as suitable feedstock for biodiesel production.

“…In line with this assumption, industrial residues/ effluents are often pretreated in order to favor microalgae growth over contaminants. The pretreatment processes used can be simple dilutions, pH corrections and suspended solids settling as well as clarification, hydrolysis, ultraviolet irradiation, anaerobic digestion, filtration, heavy metals removal, among others [31,32,[56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]84] (Table 2). In addition, a number of strategies can be deployed to mitigate contamination during the microalgae cultivating course [82,85,86].…”

Microalgae biorefineries: The Brazilian scenario in perspective

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Biorefineries have the potential to meet a significant part of the growing demand for energy, fuels, chemicals and materials worldwide. Indeed, the bio-based industry is expected to play a major role in energy security and climate change mitigation during the 21th century. Despite this, there are challenges related to resource consumption, processing optimization and waste minimization that still need to be overcome. In this context, microalgae appear as a promising non-edible feedstock with advantages over traditional land crops, such as high productivity, continuous harvesting throughout the year and minimal problems regarding land use. Importantly, both cultivation and microalgae processing can take place at the same site, which increases the possibilities for process integration and a reduction in logistic costs at biorefinery facilities. This review describes the actual scenario for microalgae biorefineries integration to the biofuels and petrochemical industries in Brazil, while highlighting the major challenges and recent advances in microalgae large-scale production.
