Anaerobic Digestion And Co-Digestion of Oleaginous Microalgae Residues for Biogas Production

Anaerobic Digestion And Co-Digestion of Oleaginous Microalgae Residues for Biogas Production

Microalgae have been suggested as one of the most promising feedstock for the production of bioenergy and biofuels, including biodiesel and aviation fuels, because of the high oil content of selected species. In the context of biofuel production from microalgae, anaerobic digestion of microalgal bio...
