Description
Microalgal biofilms have been shown to recover nutrients from wastewater and serve as biomass feedstocks for bioproducts. In this talk, I present a platform to quantitatively describe microalgal biofilm production, providing guidance and insights for improving biomass areal productivity and nutrient uptake efficiency in a rotating algae biofilm reactor (RABR). Furthermore, I will present a novel mathematical model to accurately capture the growth dynamics of algae biofilms within RABR.
