Dewatering of microalgal culture for biodiesel production: Exploring polymer flocculation and tangential flow filtration

Background: Conventional biodiesel production relies on trans-esterification of lipids extracted from vegetable crops. However, the use of valuable vegetable food stocks as raw material for biodiesel production makes it an unfeasibly expensive process. Used cooking oil is a finite resource and requi...
