Abstract

Research studies on microalgae such as Chlorella vulgaris have been widely carried out because they can be used invarious field. Chlorella vulgaris is a promising source of raw materials for oil, food, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, cosmeticproducts and high-value products. However, their use is hindered by the large volume harvesting process. Flocculation isseen as a cheap and promising harvesting method as a technique for harvesting microalgae to obtain large amounts ofbiomass. Metal salts such as alum and ferric chloride are commonly used as flocculants in the microalgae harvestingprocess. However, its use creates metal residues on the harvested biomass, so that other solutions are sought to obtainflocculants. Natural flocculants derived from natural ingredients need to be studied and developed their potential forharvesting microalgae. Apart from being environmentally friendly compared to chemical flocculants, another advantage isthat it is abundant in nature and renewable. Among natural flocculants, corn kernels, chitosan, Moringa oleifera seeds andcellulose have been developed through several studies related to their use as flocculants. The results obtained were thatnatural flocculants were able to reduce turbidity, anionic surfactants and other colloidal particles in water treatment usingflocculation techniques. However, it needs to be further reviewed regarding its use in the flocculation process of Chlorellavulgaris by considering several parameters.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to provide directions regarding the potential of cellulose-based natural materials as cationicbiopolymer flocculants and to provide an economic view regarding flocculation. The conclusion from the study is that thesource of cellulose is abundant in nature. However, the limitations of cellulose’s utilization require modifications of thesurface. The production of cationic cellulose flocculants must pay attention to the value of the degree of substitution (DS)because it will affect the solubility properties of cellulose which shows whether or not it is easy to use in solution for theflocculation process. In addition, chemical understanding of the structure of cellulose is important to make modificationsaccording to the needs. From an economic point of view, flocculation is still a superior choice in terms of energyconsumption, especially in large volumes. However, it is important to add the study of operational costs related to flocculants,including raw materials for flocculant production, ease of production of flocculants, dosage and costs of flocculants.
