    Abstract

    Microfluidics is an interdisciplinary science dealing with the miniaturization of experiments with minimal expense, energy, time, and solvent usage. Experimental results are highly reproducible with great accuracy. Biodiesel is one of the prominent renewable biofuels, which has the potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. In the biodiesel production process, algae cultivation, biomass harvesting, drying, lipid extraction, transesterification, and purification are significant steps. Microfluidics has shown prominent results not only in harvesting the biomass but also in efficient lipid extraction. Because of the advantage of miniaturization, using microfluidic devices is a viable approach for lipid extraction and biodiesel production. In this chapter, the basics of microfluidics and their applications in harvesting and extraction of lipids are elucidated.
