Oil-rich biomass has been produced from heterotrophic fed-batch and semi-continuous cultures of Chlorella … for around 89% of the total FA content. Oleic acid was the most abundant FA, accounting for >60% of total FAs. Biodiesel … was obtained using a modified process based on transesterification of wet biomass paste, with a recovery of nearly 97 …

In the present study, waste rapeseed oil with high free fatty acids (FFA) was used as feedstock for producing biodiesel …. In the pretreatment step, FFA was reduced by distillation refining method. Then, biodiesel was produced by alkaline …-catalyzed transesterification process, which was designed according to the 24 full-factorial central composite design. The response surface …
