Usage of residual seeds promotes efficient flocculation of biomass.

Bio-flocculation is a sustainable low-cost harvesting technique for microalgae biomass production; however, it is generally less efficient than chemical flocculants. This study aims to investigate the efficiency of seeds as a bio-flocculant for harvesting biomass. Four extracts from integral and residual (seeds without lipids) biomass of seeds using salt or aqueous solutions were used at four concentrations (100, 200, 300, and 400 ppm).
