A review on microalgae, a versatile source for sustainable energy and materials (2011, methodology): “Some of these are summarized below: Isolation, culturing and characterization of microalgae: While isolation and characterization from any unique environment have been ongoing processes, culturing still remains a niche area needing continued R&D efforts towards cost-effective technologies [2,32].”
Commercial astaxanthin production derived by green alga Haematococcus pluvialis: A microalgae process model and a techno-economic assessment all through production line (2016, methodology): “Thus, dehydration is a process applied prior to recovery of the desired metabolite, in order to extend the shelf-life of the algal biomass [58, 65].”
Phycocyanin from Microalgae: Properties, Extraction and Purification, with Some Recent Applications (2018, neutral): “42 For dewatering, the relatively large size of Spirulina (100–200 microns) allows use of mesh filtration or gravity sedimentation, not possible for other smaller microalgae.”
Cultivation of filamentous cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) in agro-industrial wastes and wastewaters: A review (2011, background): “In addition, the majority of the existing techniques for lipid extraction, in order to produce biodiesel, require the drying of slurry harvested from the algal biomass [7,14,25].”
