Harvesting, a challenging step of microalgae processing appears to be promising using flocculation method by the addition of tannin based natural biopolymer, AFlok-BP1. In this study, marine microalgae Nannochloropsis sp. was flocculated using AFlok-BP1 to evaluate its effectiveness in terms of floc...
