A new method of phytoplankton concentration as a cycle of solving environmental problems and obtaining energy from high-quality biofuel (lipid oil)
Abstract: The stagnant zones of fresh lakes, formed due to increased reproduction of phytoplankton in stagnant water under the influence of the sun, pose a serious threat to the environment, leading to the death of phytoplankton and fish, releasing hydrogen sulfide and making the water unsuitable even for agricultural use. In this regard, the development of a method for concentrating phytoplankton from "green water" becomes an urgent task associated not only …

The New Technology of Phytoplankton’s Concentration from Lake “Green Water” for Production of the High-quality Biofuel Having Positive Impact on the Environment
Abstract: The “green water” formation in the stagnant zones of fresh lakes occurs due to the generation and enhanced reproduction of phytoplankton under the sun influence. Due to non-influx of fresh water, phytoplankton dies, releasing hydrogen sulfide, and water becomes unusable and threatens the ecological situation of the lake. In this regard, the development of the concentration of phytoplankton from “green water” purification is an urgent task associated with positive impact …
