Harnessing microalgae for a synergistic approach to CO₂ capture, wastewater treatment, and biodiesel production: A review by Abdullah M. AlSalal (23770842)

“…Advanced harvesting techniques like <u>flocculation</u>, dissolved air <u>flotation</u>, and decanter centrifugation have improved biomass recovery (> 93 %) while reducing energy consumption. Extraction methods using <u>ionic liquids</u>, bio-based solvents (e.g., 2-MeTHF), and supercritical CO₂ achieve yields up to 97 %, while optimized <u>transesterification</u> processes using microwave or ultrasound-assisted catalysis report fatty acid methyl ester yields up to 88 %. …”
