| description | <p dir="ltr">Marketable value of algal biomass has been increasing in recent years due to its wide range of applications. This study investigates the performance of a novel cylindrical interdigitated electrode array in electrocoagulation for the harvesting of marine microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.). The new electrode array is expected to exert a dielectrophoretic (DEP) force which would assist in the harvesting of the microalgae in the electrocoagulation process. Through numerical investigation, the induction of dielectrophoretic force was confirmed in the new electrode array. In this study, 10 min electrolysis time was found to be sufficient to harvest 82.4% microalgae with 1 cm electrode distance and 50 mA/cm2 current density. Furthermore, decreasing the electrode distance to 0.5 cm increased the algal harvesting efficiency to 96.18%. Energy analysis showed that the proposed electrode array shows 38% lower specific energy consumption than the conventional flat sheet electrode array.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Journal of Environmental Management<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112761" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112761</a></p> |
