Study of different pretreatments on Spirulina platensis biomass for bioethanol ...
Velazquez-Lucio, Jesus; Colla, Luciane M.; Fernandes, Bruno D.; Rodriíguez-Jasso, Rosa M.; Ruiz, Héctor A.Aquatic biomass presents a large variety of compounds that can be used for the production of third generation (3G) biofuels, mainly carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and co-products, which can be obtained and used in the production of biofuels such as bioethanol from rich carbohydrate biomass [1]. Nowadays Spirulina platensis biomass can be considered as an alternative since it has a great capacity to produce car...
Microalgal biomass pretreatment for bioethanol production: a review
Velazquez-Lucio, Jesús; Rodríguez-Jasso, Rosa M.; Colla, Luciane M.; Sáenz-Galindo, Aide; Cervantes-Cisneros, Daniela E.; Aguilar, Cristóbal N.Biofuels derived from microalgae biomass have received a great deal of attention owing to their high potentials as sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Microalgae have a high capacity of CO2 fixation and depending on their growth conditions, they can accumulate different quantities of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Microalgal biomass can, therefore, represent a rich source of fermentable sugars for t...
