Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study includes growing five species of microalgae which are Chlorella sacchrophila, Chlorella vulgaris , Scendesmus obliquus , Botryococcus braunii and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii algae and using it of figure out processing biofuels. The study is considered as a seldom study in Iraq. The study is chose and focused for its high scientific and economical value.
Algae biomass registers a high value when using S. obliquus (2061mg/l) , while the lowest value were register when using C. reinhardtii which was (1093 mg/l).
Results of chemical analysis show algae cells the highest value for carbohydrate extracts was C. reinhardtii which is (276mg/l), while the lowest value extractive was in B. braunii which is about (127mg/l).The highest value for lipid extracts register by S. obliquus which is (456mg/l), while the lowest value register by C. reinhardtii which is (163 mg/l). The high value production for biodiesel was registered (388 ml/L) when using C. sacchrophila, while the lowest production of biodiesel value was registered (151 ml/L) when using B. braunii.
