Table 1
Energy consumption of experimental methods of cell disruption applied to the microalga Chaetoceros calcitrans.
| | Method | Suspension volume (mL) | Concentration of cell suspension (kg·m−3) | Power of the equipment (W) | Time | Energy consumed by cell suspension (GJ·m−3) | Specific energy (GJ·kg−1) |
| | Microwave | 20 | 0.15 | 1.4 × 103 | 40 (s) | 2.80 | 18.7 | | Ultrasound | 20 | 0.15 | 130 | 5 (min) | 1.95 | 13.0 |
