- Cultivation, photobioreactor design and harvesting of microalgae for biodiesel production: a critical review. (2011, background): “Knuckey et al. (2006) states that exposure of microalgal cells to high gravitational and shear forces can damage cell structure.”
- Effect of different flocculants on the flocculation performance of microalgae, Chaetoceros calcitrans, cells (2009, methodology): “Flocculation occurs when solid particles aggregate into large but loose particles resulting from the interaction of the flocculants with the surface charge of the suspended solid and subsequent coalescing of these aggregates into large flocs that settle out of suspension (Knuckey et al., 2006).”
- A review of the harvesting of micro-algae for biofuel production (2013, background): “…flocculants, ferric salts, alum and lime has been found to be effective (Knuckey et al. 2006; Sukenik et al. 1988), but the dosage of flocculants to flocculate marine micro-algae has been found to be 5–10 times higher than that for freshwater micro-algae (Knuckey et al. 2006; Uduman et al. 2010).”
- CO2 bio-mitigation using microalgae (2008, methodology): “Another mechanism of flocculation (Knuckey et al. 2006) entailed the adjustment of pH of culture to between 10 and 10.6 using NaOH to neutralize the negative charges on cell surface, followed by the addition of non-ionic polymer Magnafloc LT-25 to a final concentration of 0.5 mg l−1.”
- Flocculation of microalgae using cationic starch (2009, background): “It has no apparent toxic effects on fish feeding on the harvested algae ( Knuckey et al. 2006 ).”
