Abstract

Microalgae biomass has been identified as the third-generation feedstock for biofuel production. This is mainly due to their fast growth rate, high photosynthetic efficiency and their tendency to accumulate significant amount of lipid within their cells. Nevertheless, microalgae are small in size in naturally and shares similar density with water, which makes the harvesting process challenging and requires high energy consumption. On the other hand, microalgae exhibit special epiphytic characteristics that enable microalgae to attach on rough surfaces through biofilm formation. In this work, seaweed was integrated in microalgae harvesting process as a potential substratum to initiate attachment of microalgae on their surfaces. Several types of seaweed species were studied to compare the harvesting efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris through the attachment process. From the results, Wakame seaweed showed the highest harvesting efficiency (78.67%) after integrating into microalgae harvesting process for 3 days. Besides, harvested Wakame-Chlorella vulgaris sample also resulted the highest lipid enhancement which indicated successful integration of microalgae on the surfaces of seaweed. Further optimization of the harvesting parameters through this approach could pave a more sustainable and economically way to produce renewable fuel from microalgae and seaweed.

Abstract

Harvesting of microalgae is one of the main challenges in the production of biodiesel due to the small cell size of microalgae cells. Chemical flocculants have been generally used in the harvesting of microalgae, but they are harmful to the environment and relatively costly. Therefore, the utilization of waste biomass in producing bioflocculants is the current research niche to introduce environmental-friendly harvesting method and to minimize the cost of biodiesel production. Thus, in the current work, flocculation Chlorella vulgaris using mild acid-extracted bioflocculants from miscellaneous waste biomass (cockle shell, peanut shell and banana peel) were conducted by varying the pH values, the dosage of bioflocculants and temperatures. Cockle shell bioflocculant demonstrated the best flocculation performance, with highest flocculation efficiency of 85.2% compared to the peanut shell bioflocculant with flocculation efficiency of 37% and banana peel bioflocculant with flocculation efficiency of 16.3%. The optimum flocculation conditions for cockle shell bioflocculant were determined as follow: pH 9, bioflocculant dosage of 140mg/L and temperature of 30oC. The findings herein presented practical applicability of bioflocculants extracted from cockle shell for safe, rapid and inexpensive microalgae harvesting.

Abstract

Flocculants are foreign particles that aggregate suspended microalgae cells and due to cost factor and toxicity, harvesting of microalgae biomass has shifted towards the use of bioflocculants. In this study, mild acid-extracted bioflocculants from waste chicken's eggshell and clam shell were used to harvest Chlorella vulgaris that was cultivated using chicken compost as nutrient source. It was found that a maximum of 99% flocculation efficiency can be attained at pH medium of 9.8 using 60 mg/L of hydrochloric acid-extracted chicken's eggshell bioflocculant at 50 °C of reaction temperature. On the other hand, 80 mg/L of hydrochloric acid-extracted clam shell bioflocculant was sufficient to recover C. vulgaris biomass at pH 9.8 and optimum temperature of 40 °C. The bioflocculants and bioflocs were characterized using microscopic, zeta potential, XRD, AAS and FT-IR analysis. The result revealed that calcium ions in the bioflocculants are the main contributor towards the flocculation of C. vulgaris, employing charge neutralization and sweeping as possible flocculation mechanisms. The kinetic parameters were best fitted pseudo-second order which resulted in R 2 of 0.99 under optimal flocculation temperature. The results herein, disclosed the applicability of shell waste-derived bioflocculants for up-scaled microalgae harvesting for biodiesel production., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
