Investigating the role of reactor design to maximise the environmental benefit of algal oil for biodiesel
… to the lower spatial requirements, much higher oil productivity, no requirement for arable land and rapid growth and harvesting cycles. To ensure the oversights of cropbased biofuels are not repeated, there is a need to explore the sustainability of an algal biorefinery in the context of …

Fate of Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Algae in Mozzarella Cheese
… of preventing degradation and oxidation of FA in algal oil and mozzarella cheese. In algal oil, TBHQ (synthetic antioxidant) at 0.0175g/g algal oil prevented DHA degradation for at least 6 weeks, and mixed tocopherols (natural antioxidant) at 400ppm prevented DHA degradation and oxidation for …

Single droplet combustion of alternative fuels
… fuels, including butanol and biocrude from Algal. Droplet combustion experiments were performed to analyze the combustion characteristics of the fuels. Using the suspended droplet method, various droplet sizes were tested. The results show that combustion progresses through distinct stages: …

Drop-in replacement biofuels : meeting the challenge
… not interfere with food markets are preferred, algal oil was identified as extremely promising. The study also found that hydroprocessed fuels are also not yet independently commercially viable. The study identified a critical funding gap between the time startup capital is depleted and prior to …

Systemic and Intracellular Trafficking of Long-chain Fatty Acids in Lactating Dairy Cattle
Marine oils are used as ration additives to provide omega-3 fatty acids to dairy cows. Supplementing dairy cows with omega-3 fatty acid-rich feeds does not easily increase quantities in milk fat of dairy cows because polyunsaturated fatty acids are biohydrogenated in the rumen. Lipid encapsulation …

Environmental and economic assessment of microalgae-derived jet fuel
… extracting, transporting, and processing algal oils to hydrocarbon fuels; and distributing and combusting the processed renewable jet fuel for a pilot scale facility. Specifically, lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, production costs, freshwater consumption, and land use were …

Life cycle assessment of greenhouse gas emissions and non-CO₂ combustion effects from alternative jet fuels
… global production of soy, palm and rapeseed oil translate to only 34%, 43% and 18% of US jet fuel demand, respectively; hence, even small fractions of the petroleum industry translate to massive production scales in absolute terms. By comparison, HRJ from algal oil can yield more than an …

Oxidative stability and ignition quality of algae derived methyl esters containing varying levels of methyl eicosapentaenoate and methyl docosahexaenoate
… Method. Tests were conducted with synthetic algal oil blends manufactured from various sources to match the fatty acid compositions of several algae strains subjected to varying removal amounts of roughly 0 - 100 percent LC-PUFA. In addition, tests were also conducted with real algal methyl …

Biofuels Production Via Catalytic Hydrocracking Of Ddgs Corn Oil And Hydrothermal Decarboxylation Of Oleic Acid Over Transition Metal Carbides Supported On Al-Sba-15
… non-food based feedstocks (waste vegetable oils, algal oil, brown grease, etc.) and have great performance under low operation conditions. In particular, green diesel has become an attractive biofuel due to its superior properties that are quite similar to petroleum diesel. Therefore, no …

Microalgal Biodiesel Production through a Novel Attached Culture System and Conversion Parameters
… States is surging in growth. Traditionally, oil seed crops such as soybean are used as the feedstock to create biodiesel. However, the crop production can no longer safely keep up with the demand for the growing biodiesel industry. Using algae as a feedstock has been considered for a number …
