In microalgal harvesting or removal from growth media or contaminated water, our group focuses on the following research areas since 2012:
1. Microfiltration membrane processes for algal biomass concentration: kinetics of fouling and fouling mitigation
2. Electrochemically reactive membrane filtration to induce algal integrity changes and mitigate biofouling and algogenic pollutants
3. Microbubble/nanobubble applications for algal harvesting (from bench to pilot studies)
4. Magnetophoretic separation of algal cells
5. Bioflocculation of algal cells
