Microalgae have been extensively studied for the production of various valuable products. Application of microalgae for the production of renewable energy has also received increasing attention in recent years. However, high cost of microalgal biomass harvesting is one of the bottlenecks for commercialization of microalgae-based industrial processes. Considering harvesting efficiency, operation economics and technological feasibility, flocculation is a superior method to harvest microalgae from mass culture. In this article, the latest progress of various microalgal cell harvesting methods via flocculation is reviewed with the emphasis on the current progress and prospect in environmentally friendly bio-based flocculation. Harvesting microalgae through bio-based flocculation is a promising component of the low-cost microalgal biomass production technology.
微藻已被广泛研究用于生产各种有价值的产品。近年来，微藻在可再生能源生产方面的应用也受到了越来越多的关注。然而，微藻生物质收获的高成本是微藻基工业过程商业化的瓶颈之一。考虑到收获效率、操作经济性和技术可行性，絮凝是从大规模培养中收获微藻的一种优越方法。本文综述了通过絮凝收获各种微藻细胞的最新进展，重点介绍了环保型生物基絮凝的最新进展和前景。通过生物基絮凝收获微藻是低成本微藻生物质生产技术的有前途的组成部分。
