Chitosan and Its Derivatives Applied in Harvesting Microalgae for Biodiesel Production: An Outlook

Although oil-accumulating microalgae are a promising feedstock for biodiesel production, large-scale biodiesel production is not yet economically feasible. As harvesting accounts for an important part of total production cost, mass production of microalgae biodiesel requires an efficient low-energy...
