dc.description.abstractThe recovery and processing of microalgae biomass from a culture media is an essential component for the production of almost all microalgae products. Microalgae recovery techniques can be used individually (single-stage) or in combination (multi-stage) and the choice is often dependent on the species of microalgae, desired product concentration and product quality. A wide range of solid-liquid separation techniques is available and this chapter compares the technologies and assess the technical and economic considerations for each option. The major challenge in selecting an appropriate technology for biofuels production from microalgae is that traditional microalgae concentration processes have generally used energy-intensive unit operations that are expensive.
