ABSTRACT : |
Flocculation of chlorella vulgaris usingNaOHin the pH range 8.5 to 11.00 was studied and the cell counts of 399 x 10-4 with a turbidity of 0.353 OD660 . The flocculation efficiency is very sensitive to pH and the cell concentration. The results of the algal flocculation by pH alteration were very effective at 10.38 pH on 14th day of the incubation of the culture and reached the flocculation efficiency upto 98.50Ü0.34%with recovery of total lipid upto 94.44 %.
