Abstract
Optimal Design of Ultrasonic Transducer System Applied on Biolipid Extraction from Chlorella
Highlights
Raw materials for biodiesel production are currently extracted from plants as oils, such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and palm oil
Microalgae are a feasible option as a biodiesel source because they fix atmospheric carbon dioxide via photosynthesis and manufacture oils similar to other plants
Since an estimate of maximum oil production was the ultimate objective of this study, freshwater Chlorella production was multiplied by the oil extraction rate to determine extractable oil production
Summary
Raw materials for biodiesel production are currently extracted from plants as oils, such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and palm oil. Being edible, these oils are restricted in supply, so it is necessary to look for sustainable and stable sources of oils to satisfy the large demand. Microalgae reveal distinct oil contents, depending on the species, and many microalgal taxa do not produce oil. The microorganism Chlorella is found in salt- and freshwater and is a large genus of algae in the Charophyta. They form a paraphyletic group within the kingdoms Plantae or Protista. Chlorella consists of 40% protein, 10% fat, 10% carbohydrate, 6% ash, and 34% chlorophyll
