SYNOPSIS

In recent years, Liquid Biphasic System (LBS) has been proven as an effective technology used in separation and purification for circular bioeconomy in microalgae biorefinery. The application of Internet of Things (IoT) in LBS in clarification, partitioning and partial purification of biomolecules and bioproducts had shown rapid technological development. This method is able to give high recovery yield and high purity in a single step. The LBS shows characteristics of high selectivity and is easily to scale up for bigger production. Therefore, LBS offers an attractive alternative that meets the requirements/high demand of the industry and it is also beneficial in terms of economic and environmental protection. This presentation aims to share on the recent works in the development of different type of LBS technologies and their applications in novel separations and purifications of biomaterials.
