This study assesses anaerobic digestion as a technique for nutrient recycling for the cultivation of microalgae. Microalgal biomass after lipid extraction was used as substrate for a lab scale anaerobic digestion. The digestate was centrifuged and the liquid fraction was analyzed in its elemental composition. Microalgal cultivation using this liquid as nutrient source was investigated. Process simulation was exploited to assess nutrient and water recycling possibilities

Abstract
This study assesses anaerobic digestion as a technique for nutrient recycling for the cultivation of microalgae. Microalgal biomass after lipid extraction was used as substrate for a lab scale anaerobic digestion. The digestate was centrifuged and the liquid fraction was analyzed in its elemental composition. Microalgal cultivation using this liquid as nutrient source was investigated. Process simulation was exploited to assess nutrient and water recycling possibilitiesFile in questo prodotto:
