Abstract

Biofuels are deemed as promising future fuels in tackling pressing environmental issues such as global warming and climate change otherwise created by fossil fuels. Substantial effort is being made in developing biofuels as a renewable and sustainable energy source. Biodiesel production from algae offers a greater prospect for large-scale practical applications, as algae are able to produce much more yield than other biofuels such as corn and soybean crops. While research development in algal biofuel remains in its infancy, extensive work on laboratory- and pilot-scale algae harvesting and drying with commercial potential has been reported. This chapter delineates a literature review and discussion on recent advances in algal harvesting and drying. Challenges and prospects of algae harvesting and drying are also outlined. The review aims to provide useful information for future development of efficient and commercially viable algal biodiesel production. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
