A Novel Microalgae Harvesting Method Using Laser Micromachined Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers

Microalgae are an ideal source for next-generation biofuels due to their high photosynthetic rate. However, a key process limitation in microalgal biofuel production is harvesting of biomass and extraction of lipids in a cost-effective manner. The harvesting of the algal biomass amounts to approxima...
