Abstract
Las microalgas generadas durante el tratamiento de aguas residuales han sido usadas tradicionalmente para producir biogás mediante digestión anaerobia (DA). Bajo el concepto innovador de biorrefinería, pueden obtenerse bioproductos de alto valor añadido y posteriormente, otros de menor valor a partir de los subproductos generados (Artículo II). Entre ellos, los ácidos grasos volátiles (AGV) son considerados moléculas de interés con multitud de aplicaciones industriales. Estos compuestos pueden producirse mediante una DA desbalanceada, conocida como fermentación anaerobia (FA). El efluente de la FA puede ser usado con una doble finalidad. La fracción líquida, rica en AGV, se presenta como una fuente de carbono de bajo coste para la producción de aceites microbianos (AM) mediante fermentación con levaduras oleaginosas (LO). Por otro lado, el residuo sólido puede ser aprovechado como sustrato de la DA generando biogás..
Residual microalgae biomass, generated in the context of wastewater treatment, has been traditionally devoted to biogas production via anaerobic digestion (AD). Following an innovative biorefinery approach, value-added products can be firstly produced, generating concomitantly low-cost products, such as energy carriers, from the spent biomass (Publication II).Among the bioproducts, volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are regarded as building blocks with a wide range of industrial applications. VFAs can be obtained by an unbalanced AD, known as anaerobic fermentation (AF). After VFAs generation, obtained AF effluent can be further used with a two-fold purpose. The VFAs-rich liquid fraction arises as low-cost carbon source for microbial oils (MO) production by means of oleaginous yeasts (OY) fermentation, while the remaining solid fraction can be harnessed via conventional AD for biogas production...
