Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hydrocarbon production process from Botryococcus braunii (B.braunii) cultured in seawater medium was developed in this study. Seawater culture improved hydrocarbon extractability of B.braunii slurry by non-polar solvent, such as hexane, and increase the size of the colony. These effects could save the energy consumption in collection and concentration of B.braunii and hydrocarbon extraction from the concentrated slurry, and could improve total energy balance of hydrocarbon production from B.braunii.
