Electrocoagulation of Microalga Chlorella vulgaris.
Lucáková, Simona
This study is focused on harvesting of Chlorella vulgaris, well-known microalga with wide range of use in nutrition and health care. Harvesting (separation of cells from a culture medium) is an important part of the production process. It was estimated that approximately 30% of the production costs is the cost of biomass separation. Harvesting densities of photoautotrophic microalgae are relatively low (the final dry biomass concentrations usually vary in range 0.5–3 g/L). Centrifugation is the most frequently used method of harvesting, but it is economically inefficient due to its high process cost.

Hydrodynamic Behavior of Large Bubbles inSlot Channels.
Ezeji, Kingsley
We present the results of experimental investigation on the dy-namics of air bubbles rising in stagnant or co-flowing liquid insidean inclined rectangular channel. Variable channel geometry (withadjustable height𝐻, perimeter𝑃 = 2(𝐻 + 𝑊), inclination𝛼, and orien-tation – flat𝐻 < 𝑊or tall𝐻 > 𝑊) enabled us to evaluate the influenceof different operation parameters on the bubble shape and velocity. Measurements of the rise velocity of large Taylor bubbles (𝑈TB) werecarried out by using a high-speed video camera system and an imageprocessing technique.
