Recovery of Biodiesel Precursors from Heterotrophic Microalga Chlorella Protothecoides

摘要

This working paper describes an experimental program to assess the suitability of largescale separation processing of algal biomass in aqueous culture. It assumes the possibility of successful large-scale growth of heterotrophic Chlorella protothecoides to produce algal lipid/free fatty acid (FFA) biodiesel precursors.
