Abstract
As a result of the renewable nature of microalgae, combined with significant potential for application in various industries (such as bioenergy and nutrition), there is increasing interest in their commercial production. A key processing step is harvesting the microalgae and utilization of crossflow membrane technology is gaining interest. Published research shows biomass recoveries of 93%–100%, relatively low energy consumption, and the option to avoid chemical additives. This review discusses membrane harvesting performance, by examining the effect of microalgal physical characteristics, membrane and module types, and operational conditions. As membrane fouling is a major challenge to maintaining good performance, different strategies to control and mitigate fouling are also discussed.
期刊介绍：
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering (CJChE) publishes original research articles, new theoretical interpretation or experimental findings and critical reviews in the science or industrial practice of chemical and biochemical processes. Preference is given to papers having a clearly indicated scope and applicability in any of the following areas: Fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, multiphase flows, separations processes, thermodynamics, process systems engineering, reactors and reaction kinetics, catalysis, interfacial phenomena, electrochemical phenomena, bioengineering, minerals processing and natural products and environmental and energy engineering. Papers that merely describe or present a conventional or routine analysis of existing processes will not be considered.
