Microalgae processing for jet fuel production

Abstract: This study focuses on the laboratory production of jet fuel from microalgae. In contrast with many studies that use partial nutrient starvation to boost lipid content of the species, physiological modification was undertaken under complete nutrient starvation for 3 days to increase lipid content beyond 80%. This was followed by biomass harvesting, which was necessary for downstream processes. Large amounts of biomass were achieved between day 8 and day 10 during the cultivation period, with temperatures rangin… Show more

“…Afterwards, this research team conducted a study of the harvesting of microalgae to produce aviation fuel. After the processes of thermal cracking and fractionation for the harvested microalgae bio‐oil, the fuel produced was found to be within the range of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, excluding the freezing point and density . Moreover, considering the circular economy, targeting the feedstock source to the waste material such as agricultural residues / wastes would the preferred option.…”
