Solid-liquid Separation Technology

TL;DR: This paper has summarized the key challenges in conventional and advanced harvesting techniques and also provided the scope thereof and would positively offer a well-defined roadmap in choosing foreseeable harvesting technology for cost-effective microalgal biofuel development.

TL;DR: The use of a disc stack centrifuge to achieve a combined cell harvesting, cell disruption and oil separation process is briefly examined and discussed in this paper, where the authors show that the use of the disc stack can significantly reduce the operational energy used in cell harvesting and oil extraction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a fundamental analysis which provides a filtration mechanism that can be used to select filters and filter media, which can be applied to filter selection.

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical decision procedure for the synthesis of separation system flowsheets for vapor-organic liquid, aqueous liquid, and solid mixtures is proposed, and an expanded set of synthesis rules that can be used to obtain a first design is discussed.
