Biodiesel production through algal cultivation in urban wastewater using algal floway.

摘要: Abstract The aim of this work was to study algal floway (AFW) treat urban wastewater and evaluate biomass productivity, lipid contents biodiesel production. results indicated the seasonal average algae productivity 34.83 g dry weight m2 d−1 with a nutrient removal rate 2.52 g m2 d−1N 1.25 g m2 d−1P while content ranged between 14 22% cell highest 9.29 g m−2 d−1 during summer. Biodiesel quality superior summer high centane number cold filter plugging point values. High eicosapentaenoic acid found winter growth cycles. AFW community dominated by pennate diatoms all growing seasons. This is one its kinds in Indian wastewaters it provides fundamental information for further optimization use domestic produce biofuel feedstock.
