Extraction of carotenoids from Chlorella vulgaris using green solvents and syngas production from residual biomass

Christof Holliger, Christian Ludwig, Shivom Sharma, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Dominik Refardt

A combined process for carotenoids extraction and efficient bioenergy recovery from the wet microalgae biomass is proposed. High added-value products could thus be extracted prior a hydrothermal gasification of the algal biomass into synthetic natural gas. ...

Product diversification in the sugarcane biorefinery through algae growth and supercritical CO 2 extraction: Thermal and economic analysis

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas

The sugarcane sector in Brazil has undergone a major modernization in the last thirty years. Embracing the biorefinery concept, this sector is investigating bioproduct diversification and mostly putting a lot of effort and investment on second generation e ...

First developments towards closing the nutrient cycle in a biofuel production process

Christian Ludwig, Frédéric Vogel, Gaël Peng, Mariluz Bagnoud

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae is a promising technology offering production of biofuels in a sustainable way. Thanks to the supercritical conditions applied, the recycling of water and nutrients including carbon capture becomes feasible(1-2 ...

Harvesting of Chlorella sorokiniana by co-culture with the filamentous fungus Isaria fumosorosea: A potential sustainable feedstock for hydrothermal gasification

Christof Holliger, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Eduardo Pereira Gomes, Stephen Mackay

Despite recent advances in down-stream processing, production of microalgae remains substantially limited because of economical reasons. Harvesting and dewatering are the most energy-intensive processing steps in their production and contribute 20–30% of t ...

Continuous catalytic hydrothermal gasification of algal biomass and case study on toxicity of aluminum as a step toward effluents recycling

Christian Ludwig, Frédéric Vogel, Mariluz Bagnoud, Martin Brandenberger

A novel process named SunCHem has been proposed to produce methane via catalytic hydrothermal gasification of microalgae [1-3]. The process is innovative because it is designed as a closed-cycle system with respect to water, nutrients and some of the CO2, ...

Microalgae for wastewater treatment, CO2 mitigation and biofuels : dream or sustainable maid for all work?

Christof Holliger, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Eduardo Pereira Gomes, Stephen Mackay

Over the last decade, intensive research has been carried out all over the world to explore the huge potential of microalgae for biofuel production, which could be coupled to the use of industrial flue gas to enhance CO2 fixation as a greenhouse gas mitiga ...

Bioavailability of inorganic nanoparticles to planktonic bacteria and aquatic microalgae in freshwater

Paul Bowen, Nadia Rachel Von Moos

Over the past few years, engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have penetrated nearly every sector of modern life and their broad-scale use is steadily and rapidly increasing. The (expected) elevated levels of ENMs in the environment raise concerns with regard t ...

Thermo-economic and environmental model of microalgae-to-SNG conversion process through hydrothermal gasification

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Alberto Mian, Kevin Arrandel

Due to its high photosynthesis conversion efficiency, microalgae are currently considered as a serious feedstock for next-generation biofuels production. One possible conversion process is the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) through catalytic hyd ...

Producing synthetic natural gas from microalgae via supercritical water gasification: A techno-economic sensitivity analysis

Christian Ludwig, Frédéric Vogel, Martin Brandenberger

A techno-economic sensitivity analysis of the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) via catalytic supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of microalgae produced in raceway ponds (RP), tubular-, or flat-panel-airlift photobioreactors (FPA-PBR) has been ...
